Isatu K., 15, recalled what life was like in Petifu Junction Community 3 before her community's well was rehabilitated last year.
"Before, this water point was not providing enough water to use, and the pump machine [would] frequently breakdown. Also, most times, the water point was overcrowded. The water situation caused me to not go to school on time." Isatu shared.
But life is much easier for Isatu and the other community members in Petifu Junction Community now.
"This water point has impacted my life, from [no longer] contracting waterborne diseases, [and no longer] drinking water from unprotected water sources. Also, I have [more] time now to rest than before," she continued.
Isatu has noticed a significant change in her life since she gained easy access to water from the well. She now has more time to concentrate on her studies and relax, which was not possible before.
"This water point has helped me to fetch water on time and help my mother do domestic activities that required water before going to school. I can now launder my uniforms and have time to read my school notes," Isatu concluded.
Your contribution to providing Isatu with access to clean water has significantly impacted her life. She can now enjoy her life more fully and focus on her studies.
Right now, there are others just like her in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can't wait to introduce you to the next person you'll help.
