On behalf of my school, Kyambu Primary School, I would like to express my gratitude to Lifewater Canada for bringing a rainwater catchment system and a handwashing station. We are appreciate you for thinking of us. 

Peter Makau, Community Leader

Kyambu Primary School in Mwingi Central, in Kenya's Kitui County, has 150 students. The school would not have water for as long as annual droughts persisted because whatever could be harvested during the rainy season would run out shortly after.

Lifewater Canada donors greatly enhanced the capacity of the school to harvest rain by providing a catchment system which includes a large 10,000-litre storage tank and hand-washing station.

Now the students and staff have enough water year-round for not only drinking but also hand-washing. This has improved everyone's health and hygiene.
