Giving Update: Wamwathi Community

"The whole of our village community relied on a local government rock catchment which is found more than 3km from my home. The catchment area would dry up sometimes during the year. Then we start traveling for more than 5km in search of water in river scoop holes. Available water sources never provided clean water safe for human consumption," said Kavindu Mutua.

"Getting water has now been made easier, it is a simple task that takes less than 15 minutes from my home, the water is well clean and sweet upon drinking. I only walk to the water point and draw my water. Then I travel back home. Having water from within enables me to start a small kitchen garden where I am growing pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and kales. They are helping me diversify the eating habits of my family."

"The water point has been providing us with clean water all year round since its completion. It is a joy having safe water from within. I have also planted trees in my compound using water from this source. The trees are doing well, and I am looking forward to having a beautiful compound full of trees, including fruit trees. Water from this water point has helped ensure regular handwashing in our homes, especially during this time of Coronavirus."
