A Year Later: Happy and Proud!

Life for students at Tande Primary School before a water solution was installed last year used to mean a lot of time spent outside the school campus searching for and collecting water.

"Fetching water outside the school was time-wasting and not safe for us girls. I could waste time going to fetch water instead of concentrating on my academics," said 12-year-old Agnes K.

But since we installed a high-capacity rain tank, things have been different for Agnes and her classmates.

"I do not strain to get water as it is easily accessible. I also drink clean and safe water. This has significantly improved my health standards," said Agnes.

With improved health and more time in class, Agnes has dreams for the future, and only time will tell where they may lead her.

"Being in class 6, I see [a] future that is brighter. I intend to fully concentrate on my academics until I make it in life, causing my guardians [to be] more happy and proud of me," said Agnes.
