A Year Later: Sufficient Water = Improved Gardens!


Khadija Karimu, 55, recalled what life was like in the Suctarr Community before her community’s well was rehabilitated last year.

"There were serious constraints of water before the completion of this well in this community. It was difficult to fetch water from other communities," Khadija shared.

Collecting water is now much easier for Khadija and the other community members in the Suctarr Community.

"It is easy now to fetch water in this community because the water point is close to my house. This has impacted my life by providing safe and pure drinking water for me and my family," she continued.

"The completion of this water point has played a role in the construction of the barracks’ fence. The above goal is vital, because without this point it would have been difficult for the military personnel to get water for this project. Another goal we have [been] able to achieve is, we have sufficient water in our various households," Khadija shared.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Khadija, allowing her and her community to build necessary fences for the barracks, as well as provide sufficient water to improve farming and food availability.
