A Year Later: Simple and Easy Access to Water!

Farmer Eliud Khausi, 40, shared what life was like before the community spring in Luyeshe was protected last year.

"It used to be a hassle because we used to go far to get water for drinking. The water itself was a small stream passing by downhill. We also had to carry a jug to this place to use to fetch this water."

But since Khausi Spring was protected things have changed. The power of clean water, as shared by Eliud, can be transformational for a community.

He continued, "It is simple and easy. If you have to get water for any use, just walk down with your jerrican and fetch. Right now we can safely drink this water with no issues. We even have a chlorine dispenser."

"My wife, who comes here often, says that home chores can now be done with ease. I have noticed that the children take less time to prepare in the morning. Also, I have noticed that we do not have any waterborne diseases in my neighbourhood."
