Giving Update: Bumira Community, Madegwa Spring


"Before construction, the water was open to contamination. Soil erosion would block the water point making accessibility very difficult."

"Accessibility is now very easy. The water point is clean and safe from soil pollution. Animals no longer access the water point, unlike before, which means no animal pollution."

"I have started a small business of planting and selling groundnuts since water is easily accessible and in plenty; I no longer have to wait for the rainy season. This has increased my daily income which makes me very happy."
