Story

I am 35 years old and i have 4 kids, 2 of them are girls, we are living in AKLO SAMMA. here water was very scarce. I along with my young girls had to fetch water from the well of nearby village which was 5-6 kilometers away from our home sometimes twice a day, This takes almost 5-7 hours of a regular day. One day i got up early in the morning and started my usual journey to fetch water when my neighbour broke me the great news that a new well has been constructed by the team of CHCS in collabration with Global Giving Foundation. We went to the place and filled up our pitcher from the new wells and we were back with the pitchers within 15 minutes. The new Water well in our Goth has made my life comfortable.
