Giving Update: Bukhaywa Community, Shidero Spring

February, 2021

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

Giving Update: Bukhaywa Community, Shidero Spring


"Before the project, the spring was so bad that children below the age of ten were not allowed to go to the spring because it was risky for them."

"Now, it is so easy because the water comes through a discharge pipe where you just put the container down below the pipe and get water."

"Accessibility to the spring has been made easy because there are staircases which make us access water easily."

"This has really impacted my life positively because, before it was protected, there were more fights with other individuals, especially when the water became dirty. Currently, there no issues and this has brought me much peace."

"My goal was to help my mum plant many crops which we can sell and use the money to pay my school fees. This came to pass because we have enough clean water that we use even to irrigate the crops, thus we have vegetables in all seasons."

Gloria gives a thumbs up at the spring with Margret Shidero.
