Giving Update: Shihungu Community, Shihungu Spring


"Before the project, it was not safe for us to fetch water at the spring because it was so bushy and scary to come alone unless being accompanied by a parent."

"It also took a long time to fetch water because of people crowding at the spring."

"Now, it is easy and fast to fetch water from the spring and we do not fear coming alone. Now, our parents can send us freely to fetch water because they know it is safe."

"It has saved much time which we used to queue at the spring."

"Also, we no longer get sick because the water is safe and clean for consumption."
