The sinking of yet another well is underway in Emulele, Western Kenya, a clear indication that another community’s water problem will be solved soon. This well brings our total tally of wells sunk to 32 and will provide an enduring solution to the endemic water problem that has haunted the community for decades.
During the inception of the project, our team traversed the area and came to terms first hand with the difficulties women and children face just to get this precious commodity home. Despite the long distance and tiring terrain, the saddest bit was that the water collected was never enough to cater to a family’s needs.
Therefore, this well provides a sustainable solution to these problems as well as diminish the spread of prevalent waterborne diseases such as cholera bilharzia and more whose eventualities are fatal. Our hope is to help eradicate water problems in western Kenya and beyond and so far our efforts are fruitful. The well will be commissioned later in the month.
