"Getting water was a whole day affair. We would walk for more than 4Km with mum using donkeys while looking for water along rivers in river scoop holes or at water Kiosks at Mwanzilu market. Water from the scoop holes was never clean. Sometimes it could be colored, which exposed us to possible waterborne diseases," 10-year-old Mueni M said.

"Getting water has been made more fun and simple by this water point. I can walk down to the well and in less than 10 minutes am back home with 10 liters of clean water. The water is clean, which is enabling us to be more healthy after drinking it, it is also helping us in this time of Coronavirus in maintaining regular handwashing as a way of preventing ourselves from contracting the virus."

"Using water from this water point, I am now able to maintain high standards of hygiene and sanitation at home compared to the past when water is enough, at home, am also involved in cleaning the houses and dishes because water is unlimited. We have also planted flowers in our compound using the water resources available."
