A Year Later: More Sleep at Night!

Life in Rotain village was not easy for community members living without sufficient, safe water before we rehabilitated their well last year. "I was not feeling good going down [to] the swamp every morning to fetch water," said Fatmata K., 14.

Now that community members have their own well close by and do not have to rely on the dirty swamp water, their lives have improved.

Fatmata shared, "I am a happy person now because the water point is right in front of our house. I can drink this [water] without fear because it is the most pure water in this community."

Not only does Fatmata collect as much clean water as she needs, but she has also gained valuable time to do what every teenager in the world enjoys: sleep.

"I don't have to wake up very early in [the] morning like before to fetch and I can fetch as much water as I can in a day. I am having a good sleep at night," said Fatmata.
