Accessible clean water allows for learning!

Morlai Chernor Kanu, a 34-year-old teacher and the Water User Committee Chairperson, recalled what life was like at SLMB Primary School before the school's well was rehabilitated last year.

"I always struggled to fetch water before the completion of the project. As the head of the school, I always asked the school pupils to fetch water from other sources outside the school premises, and this always affected me because I didn't have enough time to teach them," shared Morlai.

Collecting water is now much simpler for him and the other teachers and students at the school.

"For now, it is easy for me to get water. I always come to the pump to fetch water whenever the need arises. This is simply because the water well is within the school premises. The completion of this project has played a huge role in my life, and it has also impacted my life by providing safe and pure drinking water for me," he said.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference, allowing teachers and students to focus on learning.

"It has made me achieve goals that are important, especially in the day-to-day activities of the school. I no longer leave the pupils to go out to search for water. At least I have ample time to teach, and this will enable me to complete the school syllabus," he concluded.
