A message from the community |
Dear Sir, Our group, the Gathereri Women Group started in 2017, because of the extreme difficulty in finding clean water. We live in the Lore Mugma village and until now the hardship of water is a constant worry. With these new tanks and rain water catchment system, we will know that the clean water is always available to cook and drink. And the three tanks are spread around our community so that no woman or girl needs to walk far to get safe drinking water for their needs. Wonderful! We wish you much joy in your work and would like to offer our prayers and thanks for the helping hand that you have given us. Yours sincerely Mary Wamgachi Ndiraugu |
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners) |
3 - 3000 liter tanks and soon to be connected catchment systems were placed in this area to help provide water to this community
The roof system has been completed on all these tanks but only 1 foundation has been poured presently. When funds become available cement can be purchased and the tanks raised to make drawing water easier. But for now the rains are coming and the women wanted the tanks to fill to use right away. |
