-
We had dirty water which we were drinking.
-
We had to get disease.
-
- Our old toilets were very dirty.
-
They were in pathetic conditions.
-
- We have our own approach we are using; 'The Three T's'.
-
In this approach it is the taps, toilets and training.
-
In our taps, we use clean water which are
-
quite hygienic to the children.
-
And also very safe for them.
-
Also the toilets, we use toilets which are protecting to the children.
-
They are very safe, because they are privately used.
-
Also in training, we train the children on the use of hand washing
-
and they basically use the soap which they were not using initially before.
-
- The project was a drop, but the ripples have been felt
-
and it has been big.
-
The impact on the girls' education has been that
-
we've had the number has gone up.
-
We started with very few girls, fifteen number.
-
Up to currently, we have two hundred and fifty girls.
-
And the performance has also improved.
-
We used to have a lot of interruptions, girls could go to
-
the health facility for medication because of water-related diseases.
-
We have...the girls are very stable, since we got the clean water.
-
After going out of school, they are empowered
-
and they become self-reliant.
-
So it has made a big, positive impact.
