Vice chair: “This is the first borehole in this area. It is a dream come true. At first, we thought it was lies that water was coming. When we were told to build a road, we knew it was true. We worked for a week. Waterborne disease is no more. Palibe. Before the borehole not many children went to school. Now everyone goes to school. The kids are healthier. Their grades improved. The teachers were surprised when the kids came to school. The clinic misses us as clients. There is a health clinic in Bvumbe. The health worker would come out here twice a week to check on us and give us chlorine and waterguard and ORS. Now the health worker, Harry Chilumbu, only comes once a month. He brings waterguard but we don’t need it much and we don’t need ORS anymore.”
