Linet Can Quickly Collect Clean Water!

Like many children in Kenya, 8-year-old Linet is responsible for collecting water to help meet her family's daily water needs. Before the protection of the spring last year, that task stole her time.

Since the Spring's Protection

"The water point has two discharge pipes to access water, which has made it easier to access water. Our jerricans are filled within [the] shortest time. The elder people nowadays offer us first priority to fetch water without fear of us making it dirty, unlike in the past," said Linet.

Reliable and clean water lays the groundwork for improved health, education, and economic possibilities, allowing people like Linet to thrive. We frequently hear from those we interview that "water is life!"

You made a difference for Linet and the rest of her community a year ago. This is just the first chapter of their story as access to clean water continues to improve their lives!

"I have increased the number of times I come to fetch water because I use minimum time to fetch water. At home, we are able to use clean water for cleaning, drinking, [and] cooking," said Linet.

At The Water Project, we value sustainability and want to ensure that people continue to thrive. We commit to monitoring this spring to ensure the water is always flowing and safe to consume. We inspect the system hardware, track water availability, conduct sanitary inspections, and collect water quality samples to identify risks. We work with our team on the ground to resolve them.

You gave Linet a crucial tool for achieving her dreams: access to clean water. Together, we can excitedly expect that with this precious resource, her enthusiasm and courage will help her fulfill her dreams.
