A Year Later: "This water point has impacted my entire family life."

Last year the community members in Bai Bureh Junction had to find water wherever they could, costing them valuable time and risking their health.

"Thanks to the almighty God for keeping me alive. To have clean drinking was difficult for me. Most times, my wife could not cook on time. Even taking my bath two times a day was difficult for me. My children usually went to school late, and they were sent home by the teachers. All [this] happened because of [a] shortage of water in this community," said 67-year-old farmer Dauda Turay.

But since their well was rehabilitated last year, things have been different, and now people can collect water whenever they need it.

"This water point has impacted my entire family life. Now, all domestic activities are done on time. We are drinking safe and pure water now," said Dauda. "The water point has never [gone] dry since the completion last year. My family and I are using more than two hundred liters of water a day for domestic activities."
