A Year Later: More time to interact with friends!

Last year, before Angatia Spring was protected in Lukala West, it was challenging for seventeen-year-old Sharon E. to collect water and have time for anything else.

"During [the] rainy seasons, it was very hard to get clean water. Most of the time, our water was dirty, and we were forced to go far away looking for water where the springs were protected," said Sharon.

But since the spring's protection, things have been different.

"Everything has been made easy. You only need to place your container under the pipe, and water goes in. Very little time is spent at the water point," shared Sharon.

And best of all, Sharon now has time to do other fun things like her peers. "Now that very little time is spent at the spring, I have time to go and interact with friends and learn from them," Sharon concluded.
