On behalf of Katuluni community, we write to thank Lifewater RESCUE Kenya and Lifewater Canada for working so hard to give our community a fully equipped well. This is the only clean source of water, and the only source of water for that matter. We promise you that we will take good care of it and ensure that it serves our community for years to come. May God abundantly bless you. ---Community Leaders
Katuluni 2 village in Mwingi region has a big river snaking through it, but despite easy accessibility to the river, the residents still struggle to access water. This is because for the most part, the river is always dry. Seeing that the region barely receives any rainfall throughout the year, the struggle for clean water, and just any water for consumption for that matter, is quite remarkable. But the people of Katuluni 2 village are now relieved and happy, because Lifewater Canada funded the drilling of a new well in the village and installed a new hand pump. The villagers are not just enjoying easy access to water throughout the year, but they are also grateful to have a constant flow of clean and safe drinking and washing water.
