A Year Later: "I can really celebrate and enjoy the joyful moments. . ."

Cyprian B., 14, recalled what life was like at the Mugai Primary School before his school's well was installed last year.

"As a pupil from this school, each and every day, I used to collect water from home and carry it to the school. This was so difficult as, at some point, I could get tired and also be absent from school. The [water] source which was around the school could get dry, making it so difficult to do manual cleaning on a daily basis," said Cyprian.

Collecting water is now much easier for Cyprian and the other students at Mugai Primary School.

"I can really celebrate and enjoy the joyful moments which I have now. I have really seen tremendous success brought by the new water source: cleaning done on time and clean, safe water for drinking. No missing morning lessons or being late to school," continued Cyprian.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Cyprian, allowing him to celebrate access to safe water each day. He and the other students can prioritize their educations and strive for a brighter future.

Right now, there are others in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can't wait to introduce you to the next person you'll help.
