A Year Later: "The water is safe and pure to drink"

Before we rehabilitated the well in Tintafor last year, community members spent most of their time collecting water from the local swamp to meet their daily water needs because the well was not functional.

"The water was not pure to drink because it had [the] odor [of a] swamp. There were minor cracks and pools of standing water on top of the well pad," said 18-year-old Emma K.

But now that the well is functioning again, people are happy and able to draw water anytime they need it.

"The water is safe and pure to drink. Now [that] the water point is chlorinated every three months, that makes it pure to drink. The chances to contract waterborne diseases from the water point is over," concluded Emma.

Clean water flowing!
