A Year Later: Life Has Changed

Sarahphine, 15, commented, "We go to school without worry of water because we can fetch it anytime and it is clean. I am improving in my academics because of spending a lot of time reading. We collect water here anytime and use it for all [our] home chores. It is now a guarantee to wash my [school] uniform twice a week."

Community member Rose Shango shared how the protected spring has made collecting water easier for her. "Collecting water at this source was difficult especially when it rained. There was a lot of mud and sand. It was not well made compared to now. It is easier, and it is clean. The stairs have made it easier to access water."

She continued to share how her health and hygiene have improved. "Our life has changed because our health has improved. It has helped me improve my hygiene, especially water storage and handling."
