Giving Update: Bukhakunga Community, Mukomari Spring

"Before the project, this place was scary. Our water was just open, which served as a home for crabs, frogs, snakes, and tortoises. No child could come to the spring alone due to fear."

"The water was very dirty and even the pathway to the water source was slippery and very dirty. We used to slide and fall whenever we could come to fetch water."

"We had to wait for the water to clear before the next person could fetch it. This could waste a lot of time."

"Right now, we are sure that our water is clean and safe for us. The surrounding area is also safe for us. Those scary animals had to disappear as a result of construction. It is now very easy and comfortable to come to the spring and get water. The staircases have even made it easier as no one can slide or fall on the staircases."

"We rarely get water-related and waterborne diseases, and we hardly go to the hospital nowadays. This is because of our well-protected spring where we collect safe water. This has led to the improvement of living standards in this village."

"My academic performance improved because I now have more time to concentrate on my studies. The time I used to waste when going to get medical treatment is now spent on academics."

"The time I used to waste waiting for the water to clear is now spent on studying. I believe I will perform better and better when schools resume."
