Giving Update: Eshiakhulo Community, Kweyu Spring

"Before the spring was protected, the situation was bad. The water was very dirty. This caused crowding so that we would fetch in turns, causing delays. The water also made us suffer from typhoid and amoeba, making it expensive to treat."

"Now, the water is clean and safe. The population of water users increased as nearby springs are not yet protected, so people prefer to use Kweyu Spring."

"The situation about my stomach is also better. I was suffering from typhoid, but since you protected the spring, I am now well."

"We have a merry-go-round savings and loan group among water users where we contribute money and rotate lending it to one of us to start a development project. I am now raising chickens as my project."
