“But everything changed when we got help from World Vision,” says 13-year-old Esther, a student at the school. “Thanks to their support, we now have a borehole that gives us clean, reliable water. It’s made such a difference!”
Previously, it was impossible for the school to start any form of farming because it lacked water. But in 2022, World Vision drilled a borehole, giving Esther and her friends a chance to learn agriculture.
“Gardening helps us get healthy food and learn how to take care of ourselves. It makes me happy to see the vegetables we grow,” says Esther.
She dreams big. “I want to finish school and maybe become a farmer or a teacher so I can help others.”
The school Headteacher, Mr. Sakayi Kahilu added that water has resulted in improved sanitation, especially for girls and women. “We have also started programmes to teach girls about menstrual hygiene, so they can stay clean and confident,” says Mr. Kahilu.
Hope Grows with Water
In many rural parts of Zambia, schools struggle just to get enough water. This causes big problems, for example, poor sanitation, hygiene issues, and limited chances for farming or other activities that could help students and their communities. That is how things used to be at Kasamba Secondary School in Zambia.“But everything changed when we got help from World Vision,” says 13-year-old Esther, a student at the school. “Thanks to their support, we now have a borehole that gives us clean, reliable water. It’s made such a difference!”
