Thanks to Clean Water Stella has Time for Studying and Playing!

Stella, 12, recalled what life was like in the Emulama Community before her community’s spring was protected last year.

"I once fell ill from diarrhea after consuming water from this spring. It was very difficult for me since I had to miss classes the whole week. The water was mostly contaminated because it was open even to animals," Stella shared.

Collecting water is now much safer and less stressful for Stella.

"I no longer fall sick from diarrhea because the spring is protected, unlike before. I have enough time to play with my friends. Apart from this, I also have time to read and revise my studies," she concluded.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Stella, allowing her to relish the joys of her childhood. Water-related illnesses will no longer steal her time or future!
