A Year Later: More Time for Books!

Before John Wesaya Spring was protected last year, community members used to struggle to collect water safely.

"I one day fell into the unprotected spring after it had rained and hurt my leg. I also got [the] flu sometime back when I drank water from this water point," said 12-year-old Cecelia A.

But the spring's protection has changed things and made it less risky to collect water now.

"Since there is a staircase on this spring, I comfortably fetch water without any worry of slipping and falling down at the spring. I'm also free from some sickness since the spring is protected from contamination," said Cecelia.

Not only is it easier to physically access the spring, but people are also saving time collecting water now that the water flows correctly.

"I have saved so much time and instead spend it on books," concluded Cecelia.
