A Year Later: Enough Time to Concentrate

Solomon M., 13 years old, explained what life was like before the school's rain tank was completed. "Before the project, we were carrying water from our various homes to school. This was not enough to use during daytime."

The school didn't have enough water to distribute to its students for drinking, let alone for cleaning, cooking, or gardening. But now, all that has changed.

"I no longer carry water from home to school," Solomon said. "Now I have enough time to concentrate on my studies. I have recorded an improvement in my academic performance. I arrive at school on time. I no longer go out and look for water during class time."
