Mbalu Prioritizes Her Future, Thanks to Clean Water!


Mbalu, 14, recalled what life was like in the Masheka Community before her community's well was installed last year.

"I normally found it difficult to fetch water before this project was completed. I always fetched water from the swamp before the completion of this project," Mbalu shared.

Collecting water is now less tedious for Mbalu and the other community members of the Masheka Community.

"I thank God [for] the completion of this water well project. It is easy to fetch water now because the well is close to me. This has impacted my life by providing safe and pure drinking water and sufficient water for household use," she continued as she shared about the well's impact.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Mbalu, allowing her to prioritize her future. Mbalu has time for her education that before was absorbed by collecting swamp water. With this newfound freedom, her horizons have expanded!

"I now go to school on time, and I have been able to improve in my academic activities. I have been able to achieve this goal due to the water well that is close to my house," Mbalu concluded.
