A Year Later: Time Gained Makes Dream Possible!

Diana, a 16-year-old student at ACK St. Peter's Khabakaya Secondary School, shared the challenges she used to face before the water tank. "Before this project, we used to come to school a bit earlier than usual, then go out of the school compound to look for water from a nearby stream. Sometimes the water fetched was not clean and safe for drinking. That caused us to be sick and be absent from school."

But now that Diana's school has a rain tank, life is different for her. "Getting water from this water point has made our life at school easier. We now enjoy coming to school because of the availability of water in school."

Diana has dreams she hopes to fulfill, and having access to clean water has given her hope that they are possible. "Now that I have time, I will concentrate on my studies. My goal in life is to be a doctor. [I] am now sure of achieving my dreams."
