Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

I wish to sincerely appreciate the organization for this kind gesture towards the pupils of this school in rehabilitating our borehole. Before the borehole was fixed, students had to travel long distances to fetch water, often missing classes or arriving late. This led to reduced learning time and increased absenteeism, especially among girls who were primarily responsible for fetching water. After the borehole was rehabilitated, the students had easy access to clean water on-site. As a result, they no longer missed school for water-related tasks, leading to better attendance rates. With more time for studying, students' academic performance improved, and the girls were able to focus on their education rather than spending hours collecting water. This simple improvement significantly impacted on the overall well-being of the students and contributed to their academic success. May the good Lord reward you in hundred folds for providing the school with access to clean safe water.
