A Year Later: School Garden Prospering!

Eleven-year-old Juliet shared what her daily life was like before her school, St. Peter's Ebunga'le Primary School, installed a rain tank last year.

"I was missing lessons in class to go and fetch drinking water. Getting water was a problem before this water point was implemented," said Juliet.

But since the rain tank was installed, things are different for Juliet and her classmates. And the school garden is prospering, providing the needed food for teachers and students to eat lunch every day.

"Getting clean drinking water was made easier for us. No lesson is missed because water is in school. It is easier to quench thirst, unlike before. We have planted sukuma wiki (collard greens) in school. Watering our plants in school doesn't require me to go home to fetch water," shared Juliet.
