A Year Later: Easier Access for the Handicapped!

Last year, the students at Rise and Shine Special School for the Physically Handicapped found it very difficult to collect water from the shallow well on their campus.

"It was very risky and hard for us to get water because of our state," said nine-year-old Francis O.

But we installed a well that made water access easier for students.

"We are really grateful because we can easily access clean water without worrying or getting tired," said Francis. "I plan to work hard and pass exams. The project has helped us to be healthy and improve cleanliness in our school."

Teachers have also noted positive changes.

"This project has helped us achieve quite a lot in this school. One, our mini score has gone high because of [the] full concentration of our learners in class. This is because they no longer suffer from waterborne diseases, especially typhoid and diarrhea," said 45-year-old teacher Willis Otieno.
