A Year Later: No more queuing!

The people living in Shamoni Community suffered to find clean water before Shiundu Spring was protected last year. This hardship caused significant delays in their daily life.

"When it rained, and I was at school, I could not access the water point because the spring [became] dirty. I could not take [a] bath and wash my uniforms until the following day," said 15-year-old Ivory S.

But since the spring's protection, things have been different for Ivory and other community members.

"Whether it rains or not, the water is available, and there is no more queuing," said Ivory. "I bathe daily and wash my uniforms after school. There is no more time-wasting at the water point. It is more convenient to draw water from the protected spring."

And with more time on her hands, who knows how bright Ivory's future will be?
