Giving Update: Sasala Community, Kasit Spring


"Before protection, drawing water from the spring was horrific."

"As a girl in this community, it was not possible to go alone to the spring for fear of being attacked as the area was not safe, especially for the girl child."

"At the spring, it was so crowded, especially during the weekends, leading to the water getting dirty and this would always lead to wastage of time as much time was allowed for silt to settle before further collection."

"Currently, accessing water from the spring is much easier and quicker. It takes a short time to collect water thanks to the installation of the stairs, water pipe, and even the clearance of the bush surrounding the spring."

"Since much time is not wasted at the spring, l now have ample time for my studies and I also have time to have a rest."

"Education being key to a better future, l now enjoy ample time in my studies, hoping to register good results in my examinations."

Erna leaves the spring with water.
