Giving Update: Eshikhugula Community, Shaban Opuka Spring


"Before the spring was protected, it was difficult to fetch water as community members used any available utensils to fetch the water to fill their jerricans."

"Today, there is a big difference. I am able to access clean and safe water. There are no delays nowadays and it is easy to fetch the water from the spring."

"The water is plenty and there is no congestion at the water point. In fact, during this time of COVID-19, the spring water helps us to wash our hands all the time."

"The protected spring saves time that would have otherwise been wasted while collecting water."

"We are enjoying healthy lives as there are no cases of water-related diseases."

"And, the water is used for irrigation."
