A Year Later: More Time to Read!

We asked 15-year-old Christine N. how difficult it was to collect water before we protected Misiko Spring last year.

"We used to fetch water with bowls, but we had to take turns, as the person who fetched before you would always dirtify the water," said Christine.

But things have changed for Christine and others in the community of Malekha.

"Getting water is now very easy because we have a pipe. The water is clean, and we also have chlorine to treat it," Christine said.

We asked her how she feels things are different for her now, and she said, "I would say being consistent in my studies, indirectly, because it takes a short time to fetch water. The water does not need to be sieved. It is easy to get the water, and it does not make us sick. That has helped me get some time to read."
