A Year Later: Less Waterborne Disease!

Wanzetse Spring in Bukalama Community was not a safe water source for 16-year-old Juliet or others in her community. She said, "The water was dirty, and it consumed a lot of time to fetch water."

But since the spring was protected last year and is now providing safe, reliable water, things have changed for those living in her community. "There [are] no more [water-related] diseases since the water is now clean. More people have now started to come and fetch the water because it's protected."

For Juliet, having consistent access to clean water has helped her refocus on important things. "Now that we have clean water, it helps me be healthy and focus on my studies." Now that she can concentrate on school, hopefully, her future will be bright.
