A Year Later: "Now we have safe drinking water in the school compound."

Before the well at Masoila Gateway Baptist Church and Primary School was rehabilitated last year, students spent much of their learning time outside their classes searching for water.

"Before, we, the pupils of this school, were [were] actually suffering [without] pure and safe drinking water. During lunch hours, we [would] normally go outside the school compound to fetch water [for] our classes," said 11-year-old Nancy K.

But things changed for the students when the well was repaired last year, and water is now available to them whenever they need it. And with water quickly and easily accessible, students are thankful to now have more time for learning.

"Now we have safe drinking water in the school compound. We have time to read our notes during break and lunch hours. We're happy about the help which you have done for us," concluded Nancy.
