St. Thomas ACK Church – Lunza

A new well has just been completed at the St. Thomas ACK Church in Lunza.  This well is located about 30 km from Kakamega, Kenya.

Lat. 00.22883⁰N  034.54129⁰E

The well serves the 520 church members in addition to the entire surrounding community.  The church is a convenient and publicly accessible location for this well.

In the video, you’ll meet Mildred, a mother of triplets who today is benefiting from this new, clean and safe source of drinking water.

A water committee of 4 men and 5 women oversee the project and will help ensure its long-term sustainability.

Prior to the well being installed, members of this community walked at least 2km to a passing stream nearby where the water was neither clean or safe.

This well was funded by:

Individual Donations:  May 14th, 2009 – June 6th, 2009
Berryville High School – Berryville, AR
Oregon Episcopal School – Portland, OR
