The latest on our work and those supporting it
Our team in Kakamega was out recently with the students at the Nabongo Primary School preparing them for their upcoming well project. Before a well is constructed, our partners spend time training the community or school in proper sanitation and hygiene. Teaching why dirty water makes one sick is an important part of the process.
A new well is now under construction in the community of Sokone in Western Kenya that will serve about 600 community members and a local school.
Thideerkuppam, Kallakkudi UPDATE (3/19/2009): This location was actually home to 2 new wells. The area is densely populated. From their visit at the dedication, our partner reported… The project was located next to a new building which was undergoing construction. The evening was approaching and the scene was quite festive.
The new well in India, close to a school is providing fresh, clean water to over 500 people.
See pictures and read about our partner’s visit to the site of this brand new well at a school in India.
Our partner reports on this new well with photos and a map of the location in Google Earth.
