Laurah, 12, recalled what life was like at Madeya Primary School before its well was implemented last year.
"We carried water from home. I used to pass by a spring to collect water before coming to school. The process was tedious; I had to carry books and water at the same time," shared Laurah.
Collecting water is now more straightforward and less time-consuming for Laurah and the other students at the school.
"I feel good and happy because water is just at the school compound. We only carry empty containers to fetch water from the borehole and do necessary school activities," said Laurah.
Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Laurah, allowing her to have time and energy to read and learn.
"This water point has helped me come early to school and read. It has also helped us concentrate in classes because water for cleaning, drinking, and cooking is available in school," Laurah said.
