CONSTRUCTING OF SPRINGS FORM A STREAM WITH BILHARZIA SNAILS

It was the year 2009 when bilharzia broke out in our community. This was due to poor sanitation and lack of good management of facilitates e.g water masses. I was always send to draw water from a nearby stream. The water looked clean but it was indeed true that there was bilharzia snails in it. Mr. Kanzolo who was our chief in Sichirayi location mobilized the community by instructing them to equip themselves with protective materials. We all adhered to it by constructing a well spring and using our skills to drain of the bilharzia snails. An organization by the name (WEWASAFO) WESTERN WATER & SANITATION FORUM came in and constructed more springs with clean water. This was a great changed and solution to our problem. We are now safe.
