A Year Later: Time for Playing!

The community members of Yongoroo used to have to rely on local streams for their daily water needs.

"The water was having a taste and not pure to drink. The water sometimes [was] dirtied by community members that are closer to this water source. Most times, I [was] sick of fetching water from [a] long distance away from my home," said 13-year-old Alex N.

But since the well was rehabilitated last year, things have been different for community members. They now have a nearby reliable water source for all of their needs.

"I no longer walk far distances to fetch water because the water point is close [to] my doorstep. I have enough [time] to play and read my notebooks," said Alex.

"The water is safe and pure to drink," concluded Alex.
