A Year Later: "Come Rain or Sunshine the Water is Available."

November, 2023

A year ago, your generous donation helped Museywa Secondary School in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Harriet. Thank you

A Year Later:


Harriet P., 16, recalled what life was like at Museywa Secondary School before her school's well was installed last year.

"Water was scarce in our compound. We had a small tank and hand-dug well where we strained [to collect water] and overstretched them. During droughts, the school bought water, and [it] was only sufficient for cooking and drinking," said Harriet.

But collecting water is much simpler for Harriet and the other students at Museywa now.

"The good thing with this water point is [it is] reliable. Come rain or sunshine, the water is available. When it breaks down, it is fixed within the shortest time possible. This has impacted our life positively and made our stay here good because water is available," said Harriet.

Having ready access to water from the well has made a difference for Harriet and the other students, allowing them to collect water whenever it is needed and make improvements in their daily lives.

"We wash our latrines on [a] daily basis. Our classes are cleaned at least three times a week. Our sanitation has really improved," concluded Harriet.

Harriet happily collects water.


Right now, there are others in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can't wait to introduce you to the next person you'll help.
