Eunice Makuba, 62, recalled what life was like in the Elusolokho Community before her community’s spring was protected last year.
“Before the completion of the project, it was hard for me to carry water from the spring because the place was slippery and steep. This was more common, especially during the rainy season,” said Eunice.
Collecting water is now easier for Eunice and the other community members in Elusolokho.
“After the completion of the project it is easy for me to access water from the protected spring. In addition, I don't use any container to fetch water because there is already a pipe. I don't waste time at the spring because there is no queuing at the protected spring," continued Eunice.
Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Eunice, giving her the confidence that she can collect water whenever she needs it.
