Clean Water
Our completed project built a clean water well and provide support for the local community.
Why Clean Water?
Girls often are forced to get married because of pressure from parents, poverty, and lack of better alternatives. Due to limited access to closer schools and quality education, often, families send boys rather than girls to go long distance schools for better education.
Many adolescent girls become pregnant because they are forced into early marriage and sex. Because they lack the information needed to make informed decisions about their health, their sexuality, and family planning they get pregnant at early age and become parents themselves. Providing closer schools and better quality education transforms the lives of these girls and their family.
Why Saga Bridge?
Currently, due to the absence of nearby schools, children travel for hours to go to school. Children have to cross one of the largest rivers in the community to go to school. During the winter season, the river is full. Several people and cattle die each year trying to cross the river due to the absence of a bridge.
Este is the nearest city to the rural community. Many folks have go to Este for medical and shopping needs on a frequent basis. During winter, the community people will have to wait up to two months to cross the river until the river is no longer full, due to the absence of a bridge.
Having a bridge over the Saga River will make it possible for the rural community to travel to Este without having to walk two additional hours to go across the nearest bridge.
