A Year Later: "The water is now clean, and I enjoy drinking it."

September, 2022

A year ago, your generous donation helped Mushiibi Community in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Cyprian. Thank you!

"The water used to be too dirty, and I used to suffer from diarrhea," said 11-year-old Cyprian O. when describing what the water flowing from Ambani Spring used to be like before.

But things changed for Cyprian and other community members once their spring was protected last year.

"The water is now clean, and I enjoy drinking it," he said.

And with cleaner water for drinking, Cyprian spends less time battling sickness and has more energy to concentrate on other things.

"I always enjoy going for water because it's clean. I am healthy, and I plan to improve in my studies and pass exams."

Beatrice Ambani, a 52-year-old farmer in Mushiibi echoed Cyrpian's sentiments.

"I am able to save time and money for other activities that help me to take care of my family. I and my family are healthy and strong," said Beatrice.

Children collect water from the protected spring.
