A Year Later: School Fees? No Problem!

"We used to fetch water from the protected spring located within the valley because our borehole was broken and it was beyond the capacity of the community to repair. Now that this borehole is fully functional and in a very good condition, [the] majority have abandoned the protected spring and I have never gone back there to collect water again," said Ahumuza, an 11-year-old boy from the community.

He continued, "This water point has relieved me from the long distance and the challenges of accessing the protected spring within the valley. Currently, I am able to help my mother in spraying her gardens since we now have enough water. This has boosted our household income and has made it easy for my parents to pay for my school fees in time."
