A Year Later: "I also have enough time to bond and play with my friends."

Monica J, 13, recalled life in the Malimali Community before its spring was protected last year.

"Fetching water from this spring was very hard because I could waste a lot of time queuing or even fetching water since I used a scoop. I could not complete my assignments on time and got punished in school," she shared.

Collecting water is now much less challenging for Monica and the other community members in Malimali Community.

"I have been able to save my time, hence spending it on studies more. Due to this, I have improved greatly in school. I also have enough time to bond and play with my friends," concluded Monica.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Monica, allowing her to spend more time learning and playing, laying the foundation for a brighter future.
