A Year Later: "Today, I get water without struggle."

Before Wandati Spring was protected last year, finding water in Khabondi was challenging.

"It used to be very difficult. People used to go far to get water for drinking," said 16-year-old Joshua M.

But since the spring's protection, things are different for Joshua and he has been busy improving things.

"Today, I get water without struggle, as you only put a container [under the spout], and it's filled up in [a] few seconds without waiting for long," said Joshua.

"I have [a] flower nursery. I use the water from the spring to irrigate it," Joshua said. "I also give clean and safe water to the cows and goats at home."

With sufficient clean water at his disposal, there is no telling how bright Joshua's future may turn out to be.
