"Getting water was such a hard task that as children, we could not be involved in the process. Only mum would walk to the river with donkeys and fetch water for the whole family. The distances were long, and a lot of people went to the scoop holes, which made it difficult for us as children," said 7-year-old Esther M.

"Getting water is now easy. I can walk to the well, use the pump and fill my container, and then walk back home. I can even make multiple trips and fetch a lot of water, something which was not possible in the past. The availability of water from within a point near home makes me get involved in the water fetching process and helping mum."

"The project provides us with adequate clean water at home for drinking, washing clothes, and cleaning the home. I have been using the water to clean my clothes, and I shower with a lot of water every day because water is available in plenty. In the past, I could not do it because mum saw it as a waste as the water was scarce and the fetching process was tedious."

Thumbs up!
