Giving Update: Ikonyero Community, Amkongo Spring

Giving Update: Ikonyero Community, Amkongo Spring


"The path to the spring used to be slippery, and it was dangerous for us to come to the spring, but we had no choice but to help our mums fetch water."

"The spring had frogs and crabs which used to dirty the water. As a result, we would waste a lot of time at the spring waiting for the water to settle before we could fetch it."

"Now, the pipe was installed to make it faster for us to fetch water, and stairs were put near the spring to make it easy to access the spring."

"I enjoy making several trips to the spring and still having time to play and study. My siblings and I no longer suffer from waterborne and water-related diseases like typhoid, diarrhea, and malaria."

"Since water from the spring is clean, I make sure that I maintain personal and hand hygiene which has really improved our health."

"Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in our country, we always make sure that we wash our hands frequently using clean water from the spring."
