KIKAJJO, UGANDA
Joy is 8 yrs old and the only child of her parents. She is in Primary 2 at Kikajjo Primary School, but she is always absent because she must provide water for her family. Every morning, afternoon, and evening, she has to move with a group of other children to a spring 3kms away from her home. It is a scary journey if she has to go alone through the sugarcane plantation, so she would rather miss school and go to the spring with other children. But because of donors to IFA, SUUBI drillers received the needed funds to drill a well in Kikajjo, home to Joy and about 2000 other people. Now community members enjoy clean water just a short walk from their homes!
