Giving Update: Kikube Nyabubale Community

Sylvia, a young girl of 11 years, was interviewed on how the situation was like before this project was completed, and she said, "Before this water project was completed, I used to collect water from the open ponds within the swamp."

"I never liked fetching water from the swamp because the roads were very bushy, and sometimes we would encounter snakes. I had to first wait for my other friends so that I could gain courage while going to collect the water in the swamp," she said.

Sylvia was asked how this water point has impacted her life, and she said, "This water point has impacted a lot in my life because I can now collect more than two jerrycans of water in a day, and I can now go to the water point alone as compared to before."

She continued saying, "At this water point, we have a caretaker who always reminds us of cleaning our containers, so each time I go to the water point, I ensure that my jerrycans are very clean, and these days I no longer get stomach issues like before," She concluded.

When Sylvia was asked about some of the things this water point has helped her achieve, she said, "Before the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak led to the closing of all schools, this water point helped me improve on my academic performance because it gave me enough time to concentrate on my homework especially in the evenings when am back from school."

"This has been possible because this water point is now easily accessible, safer, and closer to our home," she said.
