The well has transformed lives.

During our recent visit we met a man who now lived in the city but had grown up in the Wagogo village. He invited us to his home to meet his family to say thank you for our partnership with Mnase community.  As a child he had grown up walking 10 km a day to collect water. During droughts this well would draw so many people that he would find it hard to get near the water. So he and a group 0f 20 young children decided to go late at night in order to miss the crowds, going as a group prevented attacks by hyenas. Some nights though, in the darkness, they would slip and the yokes carrying the calabash gourdes full of water would fall and break. On these nights they would go home crying to inform their parents that there would be no water that day. With the well now in the community, his families (who still live in the village) lives have been transformed.
