Giving Update: Koitabut Primary School


"Previously, it was so hard to get the water from a very dirty source where people bathed, washed their clothes, and did other cleaning like cleaning their farm equipment such as their pesticide spraying containers."

"Crowding at the water source led to time-wasting and also caused water from the source to be dirty."

"I thank God that He protected us from any harm till the time we got our beautiful tank in the school. We do not go out anymore to get water from other sources."

"Our tank has enough safe, clean drinking water, which is accessible anytime and within a stone's throw distance from the classrooms."

"I personally use the time previously wasted to study, so as to improve my academic performance by scoring high marks in my class."

"My desire had always been to remain healthy and always be in school learning, with no thought of being interfered with by being sent to fetch water outside the school compound."
