    We had dirty water which we were drinking.
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    We had to get disease.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    - Our old toilets were very dirty.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    They were in pathetic conditions.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    - We have our own approach we are using; 'The Three T's'.
  • 1:07 - 1:12
    In this approach it is the taps, toilets and training.
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    In our taps, we use clean water which are
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    quite hygienic to the children.
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    And also very safe for them.
  • 1:19 - 1:24
    Also the toilets, we use toilets which are protecting to the children.
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    They are very safe, because they are privately used.
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    Also in training, we train the children on the use of hand washing
  • 1:32 - 1:37
    and they basically use the soap which they were not using initially before.
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    - The project was a drop, but the ripples have been felt
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    and it has been big.
  • 1:53 - 1:58
    The impact on the girls' education has been that
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    we've had the number has gone up.
  • 2:01 - 2:05
    We started with very few girls, fifteen number.
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    Up to currently, we have two hundred and fifty girls.
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    And the performance has also improved.
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    We used to have a lot of interruptions, girls could go to
  • 2:15 - 2:20
    the health facility for medication because of water-related diseases.
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    We have...the girls are very stable, since we got the clean water.
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    After going out of school, they are empowered
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    and they become self-reliant.
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    So it has made a big, positive impact.
  • 2:34 - 2:38
