Water Allows Isha Good Health and Time to Learn!

Last year, your gift unlocked the potential for a brighter future for Isha. Since then, she and the Masoila Community of 250 residents have had clean, reliable water. Your contribution has made a significant impact. Thank you for making a difference!

"Since there is a well in the community, it is easy for me to fetch water now, as I do not need to go out of the community to fetch water," said Isha.

Before the Well Installation

Like many children in Sierra Leone, fourteen-year-old Isha is responsible for collecting water to meet her and her family’s daily water needs. Before the water intervention last year, that task stole her time and negatively affected her learning opportunities.

"When there was no well in this community, I used to go to other communities to fetch water. There was always a total crowd at the water source since it was the only well [where] we used to fetch water. With this negative effect, I [was] always late to go to school and that affected my academic performance. It was really difficult to fetch water in this community before the completion of this well," said Isha.

Since the Well Installation

Your generous gift last year was much more than a simple donation; it was a powerful statement about your commitment to this community and Isha's future. By supporting the water solution, you made clean water an everyday reality for her, fostering hope for a brighter future.

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

The Future is Looking Bright!

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

At The Water Project, we value sustainability and want to ensure that people continue to thrive. We commit to monitoring this project 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 Isha 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.

"Since there is a well in the community, it is easy for me to fetch water now, as I do not need to go out of the community to fetch water. The new well has impacted my life by going to school on time and also providing safe and pure drinking water for me. I will be able to improve my academic activities because I will have enough time to study. Also, I will have safe and pure drinking water, which will prevent me from waterborne diseases," concluded Isha.
