"Water scarcity was a great challenge before. I would leave home at 6:00 am and return home at 4:00 pm. We would fetch water at scoop holes, and it was not clean for use. The nearby river would dry very fast, and we would have to dig deeper wells, which was dangerous. Sicknesses were very rampant," said Mutinda Mateng'e.

"Fetching water now is easy. There is no time-wasting. We are using the water for household chores, and our homes are cleaner than they were. For the year we have had the project, we have never lacked water. Water has been available throughout the year."

"The water point has made my life easier. I spend less time thinking of fetching water. I have managed to establish a tree nursery, which I water daily, thanks to the sand dam project. Now, I can eat out of season fruits thanks to the availability of water."
