A Year Later: "I look forward to school days."

January, 2023

A year ago, your generous donation helped Gimomoi Primary School in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Reacy. Thank you!

A Year Later:


When we first visited Gimomoi Primary School, the students spent much of their time searching for and collecting water instead of being in class learning.

"[Fetching water] was such a hard and boring task. I did not enjoy it at all. Sometimes we would have to be sent to go out during class hours to go get water, especially when guests were around," said 12-year-old Reacy S.

But once we installed a rain tank on the school campus, things changed for Reacy and his classmates.

"School has become a very interesting place to be in. I look forward to school days because I know all it takes is standing at the tap and getting water," Reacy said.

Now, not only is it easy to access water right at their school, but students have all of the time back that they used to spend collecting water to put towards other activities.

"I love playing football. Now with more free time in the evening after class, I hope to get into the school team and pursue it to my level best," concluded Reacy.
