On behalf of the Chief’s Office and the Katho Community at large, I hereby take this opportunity to thank you for the noble and timely support offered towards the drilling/ construction of the borehole at the Chief’s office. This will however help in boosting the availability of fresh water hence improvement of health standards in the area. Wishing you well in all your endeavors and continuous support to the current and future posterities. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation Yours Faithfully, Hezborn Nyabande


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

Clean and safe water in Kaluore Chief's Camp community in Kisumu county is changing lives in the region, thanks to a recently drilled well in the village. Women and girls no longer need to walk for several kilometers to collect water for use at home. Thankfully, the villagers are now enjoying clean drinking water from the well drilled by Lifewater Canada and Stada Kenya, therefore largely reducing dependence on the dirty swamp in the area, leading to healthy living amongst the residents.
