Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

The residents of Kawanga community in Kenya’s Kisumu County had not thought of a well as a clean source of water in the community as it was too much of a dream to them. This is because wells are expensive ventures, and the residents are farmers who barely earn enough to get by. However, a river in the village would supply the villagers with water, albeit not clean. But recently, Lifewater Canada and Stada Kenya visited the village and constructed a new well for the community, and installed a new hand pump, so everyone can afford clean and safe drinking water.
