A Year Later: More Studying and Farming!

When we spoke to Gladys Achieng last year, she shared that she had to walk miles in search of clean and safe water.

"We used to waste time queuing and taking dirty water at the same time," said Gladys.

But now that the spring has been protected, Gladys has regained her valuable time since water is always accessible. With her regained time, she plans to increase her farming efforts.

"We can easily access clean water without struggling and wasting time," said Gladys. "I wish to do farming of kale since it will be easier for me to manage because I have enough water."

Gladys isn't the only one saving time.

Seventeen-year-old student Dennis M. shared, "The time I used to waste fetching water I can now be able to study and complete my homework."

With more time available, who knows what the future will bring for Gladys, Dennis, and their fellow community members.
