A Year Later: "This has helped me love coming to school very early."

A year ago, your generous donation helped Indangalasia AC Primary School in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Metrine. Thank you!

A Year Later:


At Indangalasia AC Primary School last year, students wasted much of their valuable learning time searching for and collecting water.

"We used to get water away from school at a spring, which was difficult since the community uses the same spring," said 14-year-old Metrine N.

But since the new well on the school campus was installed last year, there has been a world of difference, and students are able to stay in class so they can learn.

"It's easier. We get to class in time and settle down. This has helped me love coming to school very early," said Metrine.

Now that Metrine loves being in school, her academic experience is better, and her efforts are paying off.

"I have improved in my marks. I can now score the marks that I was not scoring before we had this water," concluded Metrine.
