Giving Update: AIC Kyome Girls' Secondary School


"We never had enough water in school. Each student was only allocated 10 liters of water per day to cater to their personal cleaning and bathing needs. We would queue at the water points every evening after classes for water to be distributed to us. It was not easy and also took up a lot of time meant for academic activities," said Ruth M, a 16-year-old student at the school.

"We now have unlimited access to the water project all the time. Students can draw water for their drinking, cleaning, and washing without any limitations because water is now available in plenty and from within the school compound. This has improved on the levels of cleanliness among students while also improving hygiene and sanitation standards through regular cleaning of school facilities and latrines."

"This project is helping us achieve the main goal of being in school. It is saving us much time to participate in academic-related activities such as personal reading to improve our grades. It is also making life in school more fun and enjoyable as there is enough water for all activities."
