A Year Later: Easy Water Access!

Martha S., 14, recalled what life was like in Chiveli Community before her community’s spring was protected last year.

"We used to fetch water with a banana trunk attached as the discharge pipe and [it] was very open. There were a lot of stones around the spring that made fetching water difficult," Martha said.

But life is less difficult for Martha and the other community members in Chiveli Community now.

"Getting water has become so easy with the help of the two discharge pipes where we can place two jerricans at a time and get water quickly. In turn, saving a lot of time," she continued.

Having ready access to water from the protected spring has made a difference for Martha, allowing her to collect water efficiently and practice good hygiene.

"I frequently wash my clothes, including the school uniform, thus embracing good hygiene practices," Martha concluded.

Thank you for helping Martha access clean water and to have the ability to practice good hygiene.
Right now, there are others just like her in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can’t wait to introduce you to the next person you’ll help.
