A message from the community

Parents, teachers, and students at Kamande Primary School wish to thank Lifewater Canada for providing our institution with a rainwater harvesting and storage tank and handwashing station. We are so happy that we can harvest and enjoy fresh and clean rainwater.

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

Kamande Primary School in Mwingi central constituency, in Kenya's Kitui County, has 45 students. The school would ask parents to bring water each day because it lacked facilities to harvest and store rainwater, and couldn't afford to buy water. Recently, Lifewater Canada donors funded the installation of a rainwater catchment system which includes a large 10,000-litre storage tank and handwashing station. The system is enabling Kamande Primary to gather and store water during the rainy season to meet everyone's drinking and sanitation needs during the dry season. Although the school is very young, board chairman James Mutuma says he is hoping more parents will enroll their children because something that was keeping them away -- a lack of water -- is now consistently available.
