A Year Later: "I no longer get sick."

The community members of Lunyinya used to do their best to collect water from Ngaiywa Spring, but the water was contaminated, and the spring was dangerous to access.

"I used to have a tough time accessing water because it was slippery around the spring, and once I slipped with water and hurt my knee," said ten-year-old John O. "I no longer get sick, and also, I have never fallen into the water point after fetching water due to the presence of [the] well-constructed stairs."

When we asked John how else spring protection had helped him, he said it has also saved him time, so he can study.

"This is simply because I no longer scoop water using a jug, and also, the time wasted fetching water is now used to study and also do my assignments," concluded John.
