Stories / Quotes:

Families: 65 households
Water Committee: 4 men and 6 women

For generations, since 1974, families in Wiskem 2 had no access to clean water. The journey to collect water could take an entire day, and during the rainy season, waterborne illness was common.

Now, with their first borehole, families collect up to 10 buckets a day, children attend school 100% clean and on time, and domestic violence has ended. Villagers can bathe 3–4 times daily, grow off-season crops, mold bricks, and plan small businesses like selling donuts and bricks.

Chief Wiskem shared with joy:
 “I have lived 80 years without clean water. I have lived here for generations. It is a dream. I would be dancing if I could.”
