Giving Udpate: Bung'onye Community, Shilangu Spring


"In the past, getting water from this spring was very hard."

"Accessing it was much harder during the rainy season because the water used to swell everywhere, making the environment so muddy."

"Besides that, a lot of siltation was taking place, making the water unsafe for human use."

"Also, much time was being wasted in collecting water as only one of the spring's eyes was in use."

"Drawing water now is very easy and quick because all of the spring's eyes were captured."

"The water itself is safe and clean free from disease-causing micro-organisms. This has impacted me positively as I am no longer prone to waterborne diseases."

"I, personally, was a victim of water-related diseases, but since completion of this spring, I am no longer prone to waterborne and water-related diseases."

"For me, currently, I am not seeing any challenge when it comes to using or consuming water from this water point."
