Giving Update: Kyamwao Community

"Before this project was completed, life was very hard. We had to fetch water very far from our homes at the mountain tops. Accessing water was very difficult as we had to walk with jerrycans of water descending and ascending the tough terrains. I would really strain. No other activities would be carried out in a day as I would return home very worn out," said 36p-year-old Christine Musyoka.

"In the past year, the distance covered in a bid to access the water point has reduced. We are utilizing the water at our farms for our livestock and household chores. Life is easier now, and we can engage in other income-generating activities such as farming. We also get very clean water for drinking and performing our household chores daily."

"I can gain financial security because of the products that I farm. I have planted vegetables such as spinach, kales, and coriander on my farm. I also have maize and beans. There is sufficient food for us to consume thanks to the availability of water. I intend to work more now than I did before as I have seen that the water project is very beneficial."
