A message from the community

I write to you to express my appreciation for the rainwater catchment system and the hand-washing station at Kyumbe Primary School. The facilities comes a time when our need for water is growing, given the growing population, and therefore it is filling up the gap. Thank you so much.

Robert Wambua, Headteacher, Kyumbe Primary School

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

Kyumbe Primary School in Nuu, Mwingi Central in Kenya's Kitui County, has 600 students. Because it is one of the oldest and largest schools in the region, administrators have tried to invest in expanding the school’s water harvesting capacity. But due to rapidly growing enrolment, the school's resources are constantly stretched -- sometimes leaving students without any water.

In response, Lifewater Canada donors recently provided a rainwater catchment system which includes a large 10,000-litre storage tank and handwashing station. The system gathers water during the rainy season for use during the dry season.

Headteacher Robert Wambua says it’s easier now to ensure everyone has enough to drink and to maintain hygiene standards year-round.
