The community at Aleko in Western Kenya is enjoying it’s brand new well. This community well point is serving hundreds of people who, before this well was installed, walked 5km to an unprotected spring.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Thanks to three groups of hard working students, a community in Western Kenya has clean, safe drinking water restored.
We just received these pictures and will have a full report from the project soon.
This repair required the entire pump to be replaced and reset. It should last a very long while.

Lemon “Aide” Stand raises money for wells

Dear Water Project,
Thank you so much for starting this foundation.
In my neighborhood, the same group of girls get together and think of a great charity to donate the money we raise. This year, for our 5th annual lemon”aide” stand, we wanted to help Africa. We all know how many problems people in Africa are having.
We were inspired by two young children, adopted from Ethiopia, Danny, 4, and Mary- Kate, 2. Their mother introduced us to this huge problem: dirty water. We were shocked to see how some people have to drink dirty, contaminated water and walk miles and miles to get it.
