Hi, My name is Adia Odu’, 45 years old and a mother to 5 children. We have been drinking this spring for many years now, my children collects the water most times due to my health not being ok but generally the water is dirty. It smells some times when poured in the pot and stays more than three days.
We spend about 20 minutes before collecting water when people are many. This led to fights and quarrel at the water point and also increased violence against women in some homes. When it rains, rain water carries human waste and animals all into the spring, infecting it more.
Due to the unclean water used, people have are infected with water borne diseases like typhoid, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Water warms which caused allot of problems to our health are everywhere.
“We spend about 75000 shillings to medical bills in the health facility when one gets admitted. We sell our animals, food items and sometimes borrow loans to pay the bills, says Adia”. We can’t pay fees for our children in time, dress them, feed them well and even developing our families.
Since the protection of the spring by feat Africa, we have seen a great change in our lives, we have not experienced any water borne infections like typhoid, among others, we now pay fees for our children in time, we have money saved for developing our homes through infrastructure like houses, dressing, feeding the family well and we live a healthy life now.
According to Adia, “we now spend less time at the spring, and it has stopped violence in homes and women no longer fight at the spring”
Thank you feat Africa for the support rendered to us, may God bless you and continue to support other communities.Hi, My name is Adia Odu’, 45 years old and a mother to 5 children.
