Before, we had to walk about 45 minutes downhill and walk back an hour uphill to fetch water and I used to be worried about my school attendance and studies. I can now do my studies as well as help my mother do house chores. We have water tap near our house, so we don’t need to spend time in fetching water but instead I have more time for studies.”
Project Impacts
- Approximately 280 people can now access water at their doorstep as opposed to travelling 2km on foot to fetch water
- The connections enable local women and children to use their time for more productive means
- Water supply facilitates increased agricultural production and animal husbandry – generating increased household income
- Improved community cohesion
- Improved sanitation practices and a reduction in the incidence of common health problems
