"It was so hard because we used to go long distances in search for water. It was tiresome and, moreso, time-consuming. The water itself was not clean because surface water was used by so many people."
Shalyne shared how life has been different over the past year. "Currently, it is easy to get water here because it is located within our proximity. The water itself is very clean because it [is] of [a] known source. I am no longer a victim of waterborne and water-related ailments."
And with the waterpoint nearby, Shalyne has been able to concentrate on her studies. "Since we get clean water, [I] have time for studies and this has translated to good performance in academics."
