Giving Update: Shihingo Community, Inzuka Spring

"Before the construction of this spring, we had a lot of challenges, like carrying the smaller container for filling the bigger one."

"More so, the surrounding area was very muddy which did not favor members having sandals to access the spring without removing them."

"The water itself was very dirty because it was heavily infested by frogs and green algae. Only water collected early in the morning was considered safest for human consumption."

"Now, getting water from this spring is so easy and quick, and the water itself is clean and safe for drinking at any given time. The water point is very clean which is a direct indication that the water is safe."

"It has impacted my life very positively. The regular headaches and coughing which used to be the order of the day were done away with completely by the implementation of the spring."

"Besides that, I no longer have to carry smaller containers anytime I come for water. I can come with a bigger container to fetch water because I don't have to worry. The availability of staircases has eased movement in and out of the spring."

"The water point has helped me greatly. One, I go to school regularly as a result of access to safe, clean water free from waterborne diseases...Also, I do access clean water for drinking and for household chores anytime. Now, health-wise, I am doing well."
