‘”We are very grateful for this newly constructed water source in our community because before they brought water to our village, we used to walk along distance to search for water in very difficult conditions”, says Josephine .

They currently use less time to fetch water and there is time now for them to take care of their children and their businesses.’

This project was undertaken as part of our campaign of projects that actively reduce carbon emissions. This project helped the community save their much needed wood which was previously being burnt daily to boil water. This project has also eliminated the many thousands of hours previously spent on walking to collect water.
