A Year Later: "Safe Drinking Water has Changed My life..."

Mayealie K., 15, recalled what life was like in the Konkmodu Railway Line Community before her community's well was installed last year.

"We, the children, were suffering alot to fetch clean water. Before this time, we were going to the swamp to fetch water," said Mayealie.

But life is now much more hopeful for Mayealie and other community members living in the Konkmodu Railway Line Community.

"Now, I'm very happy having this safe drinking water. Now, there is no more sickness in our community. I go to school on time," continued Mayealie.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference, allowing Mayealie freedom and joy in her everyday life. 

"Safe drinking water has changed my life. I'm very strong now. I want [to] say thanks to your support in my life," concluded Mayealie.

She shared how her life is different below.
