A Year Later: "Worry Does Not Engulf Me Anymore."

June, 2022

A year ago, your generous donation helped Shitirira Community in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Peter. Thank you!

"The exercise of getting water from this spring [was] tedious, and the water itself was contaminated. The animals used to share with us the water since it was open," said Peter S., 14, when describing Shisambula Spring before protecting it last year.

Since we protected the water source for Shitirira community, Peter and his fellow community members find they can now easily collect safe, clean water.

"Our water is now safe and easy to access and draw," said Peter. "I no longer share it with wild and domestic animals that used to cause more contamination. The worry of contracting water-related disease does not engulf me anymore."

Now that Peter has more access to the water, he has also found time to do other essential things. He said, "I get enough time to play [with] my friends since water fetching has been made easier. I am also able to help with other chores at home."
