A Year Later: Plenty of Water for All!

Sarah, 12, recalled what life was like in the Makhwabuye Community before her community's spring was protected last year.

"My parents could not allow me to go fetch water because of the long queues. Thus, I could not manage to wash my uniform every day," said Sarah.

Collecting water is now simpler and faster for Sarah and the other community members in Makhwabuye.

"I am now allowed to fetch water any day, any time because water is always available. Since the completion of the waterpoint, there [have been] no queues witnessed," continued Sarah.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Sarah, allowing her to improve her daily hygiene practices.

"I have improved my general cleanliness since water is always available," Sarah said.
