A Year Later: Less Time in Line!

"There was a great challenge in my community due to the water facility. Though it was in use, the water was not enough to serve the number of people living in this community," said Aminata K., 16.

She continued, "Because of that, we, the school-going kids, sometimes got late for school because we had to queue in the morning at this facility to fetch water before doing anything in the morning. As they say, 'Water is life,' and 'No man can live without water.'"

When we spoke to Aminata last year, she mentioned waiting in line for hours during the dry season, but now things are different.

"It is very easy now, though," Aminata concluded. "There is still overcrowding at the water point, as you can see, but it is much better than before. I think having access to clean and safe drinking water in my community has impacted my life."

Aminata near the well.
