A Year Later: "You can access the water any time of the day or night"

Before a well was installed at St. Paul's Ebusia Secondary School last year, students spent much of their time and energy finding and collecting water because their school did not have a reliable water source on campus.

"It was hard because we had to carry water from home, which was not enough," said 18-year-old Linet S.

"It was hard because the hand-dug well use to dry. We told students to come with water from home," said 33-year-old teacher Gabriel Wanguche.

But things changed for the school once the well was installed.

"Basically, in terms of health, we are drinking clean water. We have developed our school by building classrooms. Also, we have a good relationship with the community," said Gabriel.

Linet notes that she can now practice better time management because of her steady access to water.

"Even for the boarders, you can access the water any time of the day or night," said Linet.

Not only does she have more time and energy for learning, but she can also now practice feminine hygiene without fear of having insufficient water.
