Daisy Doesn't Need to Worry about Water Safety!

Your gift unlocked Daisy's potential for a brighter future last year. Since then, she and the Eshiakhulo Community of 244 residents have had clean, reliable water. Your contribution has made a significant impact. Thank you for making a difference!

"I like fetching water here because it's easily accessible and it's very clean. Since implementation, I have never worried about the water safety because it's always clean."

Before the Spring Protection

Like many girls in Kenya, 14-year-old Daisy is responsible for collecting water to meet daily water needs. Before last year’s water intervention, this task stole her time and negatively affected her.

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 Daisy, in particular, it lessened her opportunity to stay healthy and attend school.

"I used to be sick due to taking dirty water and wasted time while collecting water because it was difficult to do so. It was too difficult to collect water; it used to get dirty, especially during the rainy season," said Daisy.

Since the Spring Protection

Your generous gift last year was much more than a simple donation; it was a powerful statement about your commitment to this community and Daisy’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!"

"Since implementation, I have never worried about the water safety because it's always clean. I now enjoy good health due to taking clean water. Living with clean water has enabled me to live healthy and attend all my school sessions," shared Daisy.

The Future is Looking Bright!

A year ago, you made a difference for Daisy 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 Daisy 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 use my time to study and accomplish all my assignments concerning my academics. Due to good health, I have been able to be present at school all the time which has helped me to improve academically," said Daisy.

"My dreams are to ensure that everyone has access to clean water so that they can be healthy and productive members of society."
