A Year Later: "My Grades Have Improved Tremendously!"

Before installing a rain tank to collect water for the students at Kisasi, students struggled with physically managing to collect enough water. Khalemwa C., a 14-year-old student, shared her experience. "It was difficult because pulling water from the well was not easy, and we could experience overcrowding every time we were at the water point."

But with access to clean water over the past year, the difference for Khalemwa and her classmates is evident. "It's easy [to collect water] and we don't use a lot of energy. We just open the tap, fetch water, and we go to class. I spend most of my time in class learning and my grades have improved tremendously. [I] am happy because I enjoy being in school and having access to clean, safe drinking water all the time."
