Health | Hunger | Poverty | Education

Everyday, women and young girls carry over 20kg of water from sources over 7km from their homes and villages in Kenya. This leaves little time for education which is critical to changing the long term prospects of developing nations.

Schools cannot run programs if they cannot provide water to students, faculty and their families.

Because so many adults are sick from unclean water, children are often left to manage homes, provide food and look after the sick.

With the many additional burdens that a lack of clean water brings, education simply becomes less of a priority. This sets up an unfortunate cycle of poverty as without a proper education, there is little chance of improving one's situation later in life.

Join in and help

We are working to bring access to clean water within 1km of a village so that students can stay healthy and in school. By choosing to help today, you will lift a child out of the cycle of poverty.

Won't you join us and donate today?
