A Year Later: Reliable water saves time!

"Previously, to get water from this spring was so challenging, especially during [the] rainy season," 12-year-old Rigan shared.

"This is because all the germs were being swept into the spring, and because there was no other source of water, I used to drink the water from this source, thus resulting [in] me [contracting] water-borne disease, which was affecting my health."

But since the spring in Rigan's community was protected last year, things are different.

"[The] reliability of water from this spring has impacted me positively because I am now drinking safe, clean water. Moreso, I am no longer being affected by water-related diseases," said Rigan.

"As a young boy who is still studying, my plan is to improve in academic performance as education is a key to success," Rigan said. "This is [possible] because I am no longer wasting a lot of time fetching water, thus [now when I'm] fetching water, within a few seconds, my jerrycan is full."
