A Year Later: On Time for School!

September, 2023

A year ago, your generous donation helped Lunyinya Community in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Hilary. Thank you!

A Year Later: On Time for School!


Hilary, 12, recalled what life was like in Lunyinya Community before his spring was protected last year.

"Water used to be very dirty, especially when we [would] overcrowd, and all of us struggled to be [the] first to collect. This alone used to take most of our time, making some of us arrive late at school or even skip school," he shared.

But life is much less burdensome for Hilary and the other community members in Lunyinya Community now.

"We do not overcrowd at the water point as before waiting to collect clean water. Also, I can collect water anytime I want, unlike before when we were forced to wake up early in the morning just to get clear water," Hilary continued.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Hilary, allowing him to access water whenever he needs it.

 


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.
