"Water was indeed scarce in this institution. I used to carry water every day, in the morning and in the afternoon for use in school, [and] this was tiring," shared 14-year-old Trizah when describing the water situation at Jivuye Primary School before we installed a rain tank last year.
But now, with readily available water at her fingertips, things are better for Trizah.
"Currently, I am able to access clean, safe water every day for drinking. [With] this, I am guaranteed a healthy life," Trizah said. "Accessibility of water is now much faster and easier as the water point is located directly in the school compound. Thus [I am] having ample time for my studies."
"I enjoy coming to school every day to learn as the burden of carrying water every day to school is done with," Trizah said. "This has enabled me [to] have ample time in my studies, positively impacting my examinations."
