Clementina Makes Progress in Farming!

Last year, your gift unlocked the potential for a brighter future for Clementina. Since then, she and the Echibiywa Community of 110 residents have had clean, reliable water. Your contribution has made a significant impact. Thank you for making a difference!

"The best thing about living with clean water is the ability to enjoy a disease-free life. This gives one room to be productive economically, mentally, and spiritually because good health will grant you ample time for all the aforementioned."

Before the Spring Protection

Like many in Kenya, 54-year-old farmer Ms. Clementina Kwadoya is responsible for collecting water to meet her and her family's daily water needs. Before last year’s water intervention, this task stole her time and negatively affected her.

The spring before protection.

Drinking the water caused severe consequences. Many in the community suffered from waterborne diseases that created health problems, affecting their daily lives. Limited accessibility also meant people wasted time collecting sufficient water to meet their needs. For Clementina, in particular, it lessened her opportunity to make progress.

"It was one of the most difficult things any household had to ever imagine. We had to always think of how to make the water safer for our families [and] this came with an additional budget," said Ms. Clementina.

Since the Spring Protection

Your generous gift last year was much more than a simple donation; it was a powerful statement about your commitment to this community and Clementina’s future. By supporting the water solution, you made clean water an everyday reality, fostering hope for a brighter future.

Reliable and clean water lays the groundwork for improved health, education, and economic possibilities, allowing people to thrive. We frequently hear from those we interview that "water is life!"

"At the moment, it takes very little time. Meaning it is way faster than it used to be before the project was built. It is just a matter of seconds!" said Ms. Clementina.

The Future is Looking Bright!

A year ago, you made a difference for Ms. Clementina and the rest of her community. This is just the first chapter of their story as access to clean water continues to improve their lives!

At The Water Project, we value sustainability and want to ensure that people continue to thrive. We commit to monitoring this project to ensure the water is always flowing and safe to consume. We inspect the system hardware, track water availability, conduct sanitary inspections, and collect water quality samples to identify risks. We work with our team on the ground to resolve them.

You gave Ms. Clementina a crucial tool for achieving her dreams: access to clean water. Together, we can excitedly expect that with this precious resource, her enthusiasm and courage will help fulfill her dreams.

"Since the project's implementation, I have been able to complete a single-door pit latrine in my home. At the moment, I have two cows that I water from the spring. In the future, I intend to do vegetable farming. This project of mine will benefit a lot from the spring," concluded Ms. Clementina.
