Stories/ Quotes:
The women reported, “We are so happy to take responsibility for the borehole but also for the water. We are all trained to maintain it and we are taught how to fix it. Before the well we suffered from dirty water and diarrhea. Since that time, palibe, (=no) water borne sickness. Four to five times a month someone was sick in every family. Sangala (=pure happiness) no more sickness. Water was very far away. We do farming, and gardens, our girls that went to school before borehole was 40%. Now it is 100%. Boys were 60% before, now they also attend school 100%.”
