A Year Later: Safer while collecting water!

Charity A., 9, recalled what life was like in Isagara Kiryanjojo Community before her community's well was installed last year.

"I used to fetch water from a spring which was far. Water would collect in the water collection area because the drainage would block and the community would not bother clearing it. Jerricans would fall in that dirty water hence contaminating it," said Charity.

But life is much simpler for Charity and the other community members in Isagara Kiryanjojo Community now.

"The waterpoint is near our home, just like 50 m away from our home. This helps us save time and also reduces the much [needed] energy [for] carrying water from far," said Charity.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Charity allowing her and her parents to feel more comfortable about her safely collecting water.

"When I go to fetch water, my parents no longer worry because I come back early and not in the dark as it was before. This gives me ample time to perform other duties at home," concluded Charity.

Right now, there are others in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can’t wait to introduce you to the next person you’ll help.
