A Year Later: More Time to Learn!

Jason S., 14, recalled what life was like at St. Teresia's Primary School before his school's well was installed last year.

"Before the water point was installed, to get water was so tiresome and hectic. My home is located two kilometers (1.25 miles) away from the school [and] it was so tiresome for me to carry water and books from home," Jason said.

But life is much better for Jason and the other students at St. Teresia's now.

"[A] reliable water source in the school compound has impacted my life positively. Firstly, time wasted has now been recovered because we are no longer going outside the school compound looking for water, which has helped me to improve [my] academic performance," said Jason.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Jason, allowing him more time for learning.

"My plans or goals were to ensure that I improved my academic performance, which has now come through because the time wasted has been recovered," concluded Jason.

Thank you for helping Jason access clean water and regain his time so he can focus on a brighter future.
