A Year Later: Quick and Safe Water Access!

Farmer Grace Kwamboka, 42, described collecting water before the spring was protected last year. "Fetching water was a challenge, especially for expectant mothers and old-age people. Contamination of [the] water was caused by frequent fetch[ing] and [the] high population of community members."

But now, after the spring protection, Grace has access to safe, clean water. She said, "People are really happy for the project. We can fetch water through the pipe within a short time. No more queuing and also contamination of the source is well safeguarded. Stairs have helped for easy access without any hindrance. The hygiene standards have really improved. People can live a healthy life."
