A message from the community

I want to thank Lifewater Canada and its donors for providing our school with a rainwater harvesting and storage tank and handwashing station. The system has really improved our students’ lives. We are all so thankful. -- Mwende Musyoka, Kitulini Primary School


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

Kitulini Primary School in Mwingi central constituency, in Kenya's Kitui County, has 37 students. Although the school would harvest water when it rained, the storage capacity was so limited that the water would run out soon after the rain ended. Given the area's prolong periods of drought, the students -- many of them very young -- would go without water most days. Thanks to our donors, Lifewater Canada has installed a system -- including a large 10,000-litre storage tank and handwashing station -- to dramatically improve the school's ability to harvest and store rainwater, while also improving sanitation. Now, it's possible to gather and store enough water during the rainy season to meet students' needs during the dry season.
