A Year Later: Water Access Makes Life Better!


Martha N., 14, shared what it was like collecting water before the spring was protected. "It was too hard to access the water when it rained. The place was steep and slippery, which was risky to the community members [who] could fall down after collecting water from the spring."

Now that she has spent the last year enjoying the protected spring, she commented, "After completion of the spring, it is easy to access the protected spring. We don't queue at the spring and I take [a] short time to fetch water. This gives me sufficient time to be involved in other economic activities, thus improving my livelihood."

She also shared how it has impacted her daily hygiene and academic experience. "I take baths daily because I have a lot of water. Academically I have improved because I do homework on time. I no longer waste my valuable time at the spring."
