Story · North Kivu, eastern DRC

A shorter walk to water, and more time for school and care.

Families explain how a repaired route to the water point changes the rhythm of the day, especially for children and caregivers.

Water access changes the rest of the day

Families using the restored route describe shorter walks, safer access to water, and more time left for school, work, and care at home.

When the path is open and the water point is working, the day starts with less strain for everyone in the house.
