A Year Later: "I feel good fetching water here"

February, 2023

A year ago, your generous donation helped Namagara Primary School in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Joseph. Thank you!

A Year Later:


"We collected water from a passing stream near the school. We had stomachaches, and it was very cloudy during the day because it was made dirty upstream. The water [only] helped us for cleaning and other school work," said 13-year-old Joseph M.

"We no longer carry containers from home to school. I feel good fetching water here because it makes me not worry about class. It has helped the school to manage time. We go for games uninterrupted, and I feel we will pass our exams well," said Joseph.

Not only does Joseph feel better about collecting water and more hopeful about his schoolwork his health has also improved.

"The problem of stomachache has been solved," concluded Joseph.
