Since the installation of the solarised water pump, the school reports that no child has fallen sick from waterborne diseases linked to unsafe water. This marks a significant improvement for a school where sickness had previously been routine.

The availability of safe water has also supported education outcomes. According to Abiem Madeng, the School Administrator, enrolment has increased from 213 learners in 2025 year to 523 learners in 2026, representing an increase of more than 145%. This shows how access to basic services such as clean water can influence school attendance, retention and community confidence in education.

Beyond supplying drinking water, the pump is also supporting nutrition and practical learning. The school now uses the water to irrigate a school garden, which contributes to improved nutrition while helping learners gain hands-on agricultural knowledge. At the same time, the burden on school cooks has been reduced, allowing them to spend more time preparing meals and supporting children rather than walking long distances to collect water.

For Agok Primary School, one solarised water pump has improved health, strengthened school feeding and nutrition, supported enrolment, reduced the daily workload for women, and created new opportunities for learning through the school garden.

This intervention demonstrates how targeted investments can deliver benefits across multiple sectors. With the support of the European Union, ForAfrika and WFP, Agok Primary School is a vivid example of how clean water can unlock better health, stronger education outcomes, improved nutrition and greater dignity for an entire school community.
