A Year Later: "The Waterborne Diseases have Now Reduced."

Businesswoman Nelly Amatasi, 36, recalled what life was like in the Emulomonye Community before her community's spring was protected last year.

"Before the completion of the project, the water point was open to contamination. The water was not good for human consumption," said Nelly.

But the water Nelly and the other community members in Emulomonye Community can access now is much safer.

"The water point is protected, and there is a nice fence that secures it. In addition, after fetching water, we add chlorine," said Nelly.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Nelly, allowing her safe water to drink and improved health.

"The waterborne diseases have now reduced. To me, I was using a lot of money for medication because of typhoid outbreaks. I no longer use a lot of money for medication because I now take safe and clean water," concluded Nelly.

Right now, there are others in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can't wait to introduce you to the next person you'll help.
