A Testimony from Bernard

In November, project staff conducted a meeting with volunteers, pastors and local leaders in Gashora to thank them for their commitment to the success of the water project and gather feedback on the progress of the project in their community. Several attendees shared testimonies of the benefits of the filters to their families.

Bernard of the Ramiro cell remarked that there was much improvement in the health of him and his family. They used to suffer from waterborne diseases but since they received the filter, those illnesses have disappeared. Bernard lives next to the health clinic, and the clinic director also spoke about the immediate improvement in health. He jokingly remarked that in a short time the project has significantly reduced the number of clients at the clinic and that because of the improvement in health, the clinic staff would lose their jobs.
