No More Water Constraints for Bennisha!

Last year, your gift unlocked the potential for a brighter future for Bennisha. Since then, she and the Wasaya Community of 150 residents have had clean, reliable water. Your contribution has made a significant impact. Thank you for making a difference!

Fifteen-year-old Bennisha recalled what life was like in the Wasaya Community before the community well was rehabilitated last year.

“Before, to access water in my community was not easy. I found it very difficult, and the water point we had did not provide enough water. And this would cause me to go and search for water from different sources,” said Bennisha.

Collecting water is now simpler and less time-consuming for Bennisha and the other community members in Wasaya.

“I feel good when I get access to water easily. It's impacting my life. Before I walked a long distance to access water but now, I am not walking a long distance to fetch water. Waiting for [a] long time at the water point is over. Before, I spent much time at the water point,” continued Bennisha.

Happy for clean water!

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Bennisha, allowing her to have sufficient clean water whenever she needs it and to reserve her time and energy for other things.

"Now, I do not [have] constraints to fetch water and this water point has helped me to achieve some things that I have never done before. For example, [I] fetch enough water at home to launder my clothes, drink water, go to school on time, [and] have enough time to study, etc. I want to say plenty [of] thanks for providing this water well," concluded Bennisha.

At The Water Project, we value sustainability and want to ensure that people continue to thrive. We commit to monitoring this well 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.
