A Year Later: "We have our water in school."

Brivian A., 13, recalled what life was like at Shamoni Primary School before her school’s well was implemented last year.

"Initially, very early in the morning, I used to wake up and go to draw water from the spring to take to school. Sometimes during [the] daytime, as a class, we went outside to look for water. This, in return, interfered with our lessons, thus lowering my academic performance," said Brivian.

But life is much less burdensome for Brivian and the other students at Shamoni Primary School now.

"After the completion of the project, there is now no more carrying of water from home again. It has helped me to go to school early," continued Brivian.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Brivian, allowing her to focus on her studies.

"I have really improved in class because the lessons are not interfered [with] during [the] daytime to go and look for water. We have our water in school. I am so happy for it," she concluded.

Thank you for helping Brivian access clean water and create a brighter future for herself.

Right now, there are others just like her 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.
