A Year Later: Drinking water without fear!

Wekoye Spring has provided water for the people living in Shivagala for years, but in the past, the water being collected was contaminated and made people sick with waterborne illnesses.

"The spring used to look dirty and dangerous. Sometimes we used to be sick after drinking water from the spring, which made us miss school," said 12-year-old Faith K.

But since the spring was protected last year, the water is now safer, and people are no longer afraid to drink it.

"I nowadays even drink water direct from the spring without fear because it is well-constructed and safe. I no longer get sick as usual, and this has made me concentrate on my studies," continued Faith.

"[I] have been able to help my parents with house chores on time and have time with my friend whenever I want," said Faith.
