A Year Later: No More Stomachaches!

Before we built a rain tank at KG Jeptorol Primary School, everyone used the water students were able to fetch from outside of the school grounds. Pupils would juggle their books along with heavy containers of water, depleting their energy before their school day had even begun. Students were often absent, and there was no end to the crisis in sight.

"It was tiresome and difficult to get clean and safe water," said 13-year-old student Alfin L.

Now, a year later, the rain tank has changed the lives of staff and students alike. Hygiene practices have significantly improved and students are no longer bringing water from sources open to contamination.

"It feels good to get water from this water point," Alfin continued. "I no longer have stomachaches and this has enabled me to be in school more. This water point has made me learn and practice good general hygiene."

With water on school grounds, students have been able to get back to learning, ensuring better futures for the entire school population.
