A Year Later: Water leads to better hygiene practices!

Moses A., 12, recalled what life was like at Christal Primary School before his school’s well was rehabilitated last year.

"It was [a] difficult situation for the pupils because we had to go outside the school compound just to find somewhere to get water," said Moses.

But life is much better for Moses and the other students at Christal Primary School now.

"It is now good for us because we can fetch water now easily and fast. Again the water is pure because it's [a] protected well," Moses said.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Moses, providing him with more opportunities to learn and practice the hygiene lessons he learned during his school's hygiene training that we provided.

"With this water, we have been trained [in] different methods of using water. [Skills like] washing our hands after using the toilet and before eating," Moses concluded.

Thank you for helping Moses access clean water and have time for learning. Hopefully, his new knowledge will make his future brighter and safer.

Right now, there are others just like him in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can’t wait to introduce you to the next person you’ll help.
