Students in these Kenyan schools have no access to clean water. Countless days of education are lost to sickness from drinking from polluted streams and the time spent hauling water during the dry season. Girls without access to proper sanitation are highly effected. They are often the ones sent to gather water too.
The Gift
$10 provides one student water for up to 10 years
This gift will be used entirely to fund the construction of a well a school in Kenya. Each well will serve over 400 students and their communities.
With proper access to water, these students can get back to work preparing for a future full of hope. Their communities will develop quickly as they break the cycle of poverty brought on by dirty, diseased water.
One of our development partners noted, "When water comes, everything changes." Indeed, the gift of clean water can change a life forever...today.
