A Year Later: Excited for Safe Drinking Water!

Salay T., 11, recalled what life was like in the Karma Community before her community's well was rehabilitated last year.

"Before this time, when safe drinking water was not available in this village, we, the pupils of this village, had to struggle a lot to fetch water from the swamp. This issue has been affecting us for so many years. The road to our school is about two miles off our village. By the time we returned from the swamp and got prepared for school, we were already late," Salay shared.

Collecting water is now less arduous for Salay and the other community members of Karma Community.

"The availability of this water point has helped improve our lives because we don't have to go to the swamp to fetch water in the morning, which was the main reason for us going to school late," she continued.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Salay, allowing her to quickly collect the water she needs and get to school on time.

"We're so excited to have safe drinking water in this village because we now go to school on time," Salay concluded.
