Lack of safe water once forced 18-year-old Sibonelo from Mahlalini to spend hours fetching water from the river, affecting her studies and limiting her family’s ability to grow food. After World Vision’s WASH programme brought clean water into their homestead, everything changed. Sibonelo was able to focus on her education, complete school, and now plans to pursue an electrical wiring course. Her family established a thriving garden, enjoys nutritious meals, and runs a small poultry business, supported by reliable water access. The availability of safe water has strengthened their livelihoods and opened new opportunities for a better future.
