"I am the only girl in my family and I have five brothers. My parents were not able to send me to school. In 2017, I came to Soila Girls Centre to escape FGM and early marriage. Once I came here I became healthy and was treated well. I know how to read and write and I want to achieve my dreams to become a nurse and be able help my family. Before the WMO2H water tank, we only had had one jug of water to bathe and one cup to wash our faces in the morning. We had to purchase water to drink and it was not clean. At times it was difficult. Now we can take a full bucket of water for showers and we have safe water to drink."
