Adamsay Collects Safe Water Easily!

Last year, your gift unlocked the potential for a brighter future for Adamsay. Since then, she and the Komrabai Community of 167 residents have had clean, reliable water. Your contribution has made a significant impact. Thank you for making a difference!

"Fetching water from this waterpoint is easy and fast. This is simply because the waterpoint is not too far from my house. It is safe and pure for drinking purposes."

Before the Well Rehabilitation

Like many girls in Sierra Leone, 17-year-old Adamsay is responsible for collecting water to meet her daily needs. This task stole her time before last year’s water intervention and negatively affected her.

The previous water source.

Drinking the water caused severe consequences. Many in the community suffered from waterborne diseases that created health problems, affecting their daily lives. Limited accessibility also meant people wasted time collecting sufficient water to meet their needs. The difficult journey to collect water sapped their physical and emotional energy, creating roadblocks. For Adamsay, in particular, it lessened her opportunity to collect enough water to meet her needs.

"Before this project was built, I was unable to get enough water, especially in the dry season. The water source was far from the community, and that made it difficult to get water," said Adamsay.

Since the Well Rehabilitation

Your generous gift last year was much more than a simple donation; it was a powerful statement about your commitment to this community and Adamsay’s future. By supporting the water solution, you made clean water an everyday reality, fostering hope for a brighter future.

Reliable and clean water lays the groundwork for improved health, education, and economic possibilities, allowing people to thrive. We frequently hear from those we interview that "water is life!"

"Living with clean water brings about improvement in my lifestyle. Clean water can be used for drinking, cooking, and for the use of handwashing, which can improve my health," said Adamsay.

The Future is Looking Bright!

A year ago, you made a difference for Adamsay and the rest of her community. This is just the first chapter of their story as access to clean water continues to improve their lives!

At The Water Project, we value sustainability and want to ensure that people continue to thrive. We commit to monitoring this project to ensure the water is always flowing and safe to consume. We inspect the system hardware, track water availability, conduct sanitary inspections, and collect water quality samples to identify risks. We work with our team on the ground to resolve them.

You gave Adamsay a crucial tool for achieving her dreams: access to clean water. Together, we can excitedly expect that with this precious resource, her enthusiasm and courage will help fulfill dreams.

"I had been performing well since the completion of this project. This is because I normally go to school on time, and there is sufficient time for me to read my notes. In the future, I'm dreaming to be a medical practitioner. With this profession, I will be able to help my community in diverse ways," Adamsay concluded.
