Giving Update: Wajumba Community, Wajumba Spring


"It was hard getting water from the open pool that we had initially. We used to get frustrated by the dirt that polluted the waters."

"We used to suffer from typhoid because the water used to get polluted by the stormwater and run-off from uphill."

"It was so hard to get water during the dry season because people used to crowd at the spring."

"We now get clean water which is also easy to collect from the discharge pipe."

"The protected spring has reduced cases of waterborne disease outbreaks. No one has ever contracted typhoid since the spring was protected."

"We also have clean drinking water for use at home."

"Children can now enjoy water collection from Wajumba Spring, at close range, without fear of queueing for water or wading through dirty water when fetching it."

"I am just happy that this spring has helped us be able to drink clean water."
