WaterAid | Reaping the rewards

Safe water close to home can bring many benefits.

One is the opportunity to grow crops which improve people's diet, health and income, as Ikognane from Mohairiry Kitchen Garden village explains:

"Before the well we had no kitchen garden. There was not anything you could eat on this bit of land - there just wasn't enough rain to make things grow. Now we have a garden we are able to eat a much greater variety of vegetables than before. It is much healthier. We also sell some of our vegetables so make some money in that way."
