Water & Sanitation Projects

“Thank you for bringing us the water” – Ruben

Ruben is a young man who has grown up in Oletukat. He knows the trials of fetching water several kilometers away twice a day. He knows that drinking water wasn’t only scarce at home, but kids had no water at school, hospitals didn’t have access to water, and families even held off bathing and cleaning. An entire village was in need of water. In fact, when we launched the project, the village chief told us, a bit kiddingly but a bit serious, that they would care for the pipes like they would care for their wives… that it was that important to them and we could count on them to not neglect the upkeep of it all!

While communities in Kenya and India are different from one another, they face the same issue: dirty water. This project provides wells, toilets, and even sanitation trainings for people who would otherwise go without these basic necessities.
