A Year Later: No More Slipping in Mud!

Elizabeth Mmasi, 18, shared her feelings about collecting water before the spring in her community was protected last year. "It was hard to get water from the spring because the area was muddy and slippery."

But since the spring protection, she can now quickly and safely access water and not resort to other options. This has saved her valuable time that she can commit to other things.

"I no longer have to spend hours walking for water. Instead, I have time to help my siblings do their homework," said Elizabeth.

Not only can Elizabeth help her siblings, but now she also has time to dedicate to her studies. And hopefully, being able to focus more on school will give her a brighter future.

"It has helped me to concentrate more on my school work because I no longer waste time at the spring," shared Elizabeth.

Elizabeth happy for access to clean water at the spring.
