A message from the community

Students at Makyui Primary School are so happy to have drinking water at their school. We are also thankful for the handwashing station, so we hope you receive our gratitude for the tank and the handwashing station. God bless you. -- Community Leaders


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

Makyui Primary School in Mwingi central constituency, Kenya's Kitui County, has 40 students. For years, all of them would endure the entire school day without water for drinking or sanitation because there was no nearby source. Neither the parents nor the school could afford to buy any from local vendors. Recently, thanks to our donors, Lifewater Canada installed a rainwater harvesting and storage that includes a large 10,000-litre storage tank and handwashing station. Now, the school can gather water whenever it rains for use during the dry season. John, a local resident, told us the system has solved the biggest struggle the school has faced for many years.
