A Year Later: "There's No More Struggle for Water!"

Trader Ya Sinneh Sesay, 55, recalled what life was like in Petifu Junction Community 2 before her community’s well was rehabilitated last year.

"Before, I used to walk [a] long distance away from my house to fetch water for domestic activities. At my age, I feel pain all over my body, and this causes [me] to spend [a] lot [of] money on medications," She shared.

But life is much less painful for Ya Sinneh Sesay and the other community members in Petifu Junction now.

"This water point has helped me not to walk long distances again to fetch water, and I have more time to concentrate on my trade. I will now spend less money on medications," She continued.

Having ready access to water from the rehabilitated well has made a difference for Ya Sinneh Sesay, allowing her to focus her energy on building her trade.

"Thank you for safe and pure drinking water. [There's] no more struggle for water," Ya Sinneh Sesay concluded.

Thank you for helping Ya Sinneh Sesay access clean water and no longer painfully struggle to collect water. She can now prioritize her resources for enhancing her future.
