Dear Terry and Donors, 25/6/2012
Let me take the golden chance to salute you, I would like to register my appreciation on behave of our community for the water that have brought very close to us, actually it has assisted us very much.
For one it has been used for domestic purposes like for example we used to make ten kilometres bringing livestock to the only available river which is called river Tiva. Last year a number of cattle died because they were not able to walk for long distances in search of water. Again water supply has led to time management , since i used to walk for far distances going to fetch water after school, now am utilising my time while, I normally walks half kilometre where i cannot take more 30 minutes.
Secondly it has created job opportunities, like for example the driver for tractor has got job since he was being trained on and he had lacked a job and due to your provision of tractor he has got job and he is happy on that, he will educate his children and also to cater for his family needs.
Since the water is very near, they have capture up their mind to use water for making bricks to earn some money which will cater for their satisfaction. And due to this they will be tired and they will not get time to engage in drug abuse.
Finally request from our community members if possible the water should be piped to the six schools so that everybody to feel comfortable. Thank you

Hope you are fine. I write to thank you for the water
provision project to our community with the inclusion of the tractor donated to
us. We are grateful for your kindness and humanity as per benefits and output
of your concern. The water project has helped in and benefited us in the
following ways:-
1.
Improvement of hygiene as the water provided is
very clean and safe for consumption and domestic use.
2.
Creation of employment in reflection to the
driver of the tractor, care takers of water tanks, watchman and others.
3.
Supply of water to the school; so children don’t
carry water to school every day from their home which is tiresome.
4.
Simplified fighting deforestation due to the
availability of water to be use in planting trees.
5.
Reduced wastage of time when going and coming
from the river.
6.
Some people use the water to plant vegetables
and fruits like pawpaw and passions
7.
The water is making us turn our school into a
‘green school’ because we are watering our small trees. This will make them to
survive during this long dry hot season.
Actually you have acted as role model to our society and we
promise to utilise the water in the best way. May God bless you.
