While residents of Koganyo community in Kisumu county were able to access water, they barely had any access to clean water, and even collecting unsafe water would always come as a struggle; this is because the villagers would walk for hours to the nearby source of water. But when Lifewater Canada and Stada Kenya drilled a well in the community, the villagers lives changed. They can now easily access clean and safe water, and because a source of water is nearby their homes, they no longer needed to spend hours in their search for water. As Issa Omondi reports, the villagers are able to focus more on income earning activities as they do not spend more time collecting water from far away sources of water.
