Before the sand dam was constructed in Mbitini Community, Kyambi spent a staggering amount of time fetching water every day. "Getting water was a nightmare," she said, "since we used to walk for long hours. Things have changed because I can access water within a few minutes."
With all this spare time, Kyambi has been able to create her own tree nursery: a source of income that couldn't have been realized without a source of reliable water.
