Wells for Kenya

Kenya is a beautiful mix of cities and countryside, mountains and desert, remarkable potential amidst deseprate poverty. It is home to a people of inspiring hospitality, kindness and joy.

But for so many in Kenya, clean and safe water is impossible to find. Mothers search for it in vain, children gather dirty water when nothing else is available. And as they do, hope is lost when sickness and poverty follow.

We began our work in Kenya in 2006 and are committed to this great people. We're focused in Western Kenya, around the city of Kakamega. There, we intend to literally saturate one region at a time, so that lives can truly change.

We're committed to working closely with the people of this region, listening to their needs, not simply imposing our solutions. Our desire is to see more smiles like this mom's, who received one of our very first water projects.

Program Highlights

Our team in Kenya, known as The Bridge Water Project, constructs wells at schools, churches, and community centers.

This remarkable effort is led by Kenyans who have been trained and equipped to engage their own communities, install wells, and train villages in proper sanitation and hygiene.

And they well be there tommorow, and next year and into the future, ensuring the water they help provide today keeps flowing.

On average a water project here costs about $6,000 which covers all phases of the effort.
