A Year Later: "I have achieved a lot."

Before Kwa Witinga Spring was protected last year, collecting water was challenging.

"I had the fear of going to the water point alone because the environment surrounding the spring was with huge trees and a lot of bushes," said 10-year-old Deogracious. "Also, I was always forced to wait so that adults can fetch water first. This wasted my time and affected my learning."

But now that the spring has been protected, things are different.

"It is safe to get water from this water point because the bush was cleared during construction. I can go to the water point as many times as possible, and it is easier to access water due to the three taps at the water point," said Deogracious.

"I have achieved a lot in my education because I have enough time to revise and do my homework in time," concluded Deogracious.
