Clean water makes an incredible impact in the health and energy levels of those who have access to it. Another benefit is that the runoff from the water fetching point can be used to water small gardens that provide food for families to eat as well as a small source of income when the surplus is sold.
In honor of World Water Day we want to share an example of what your partnership has accomplished at Ilturisho community and primary school.
The past three weeks in Kenya have been invaluable, both for our team and our mission goals. We were able to:
The Maasai are well known for their skill at hand beading. Montana on a Mission brings back these hand-made pieces and sales from them go 100% to the water projects in these women’s communities.
After the water has been fetched and the yellow jerry cans sit full of water in the shade of the house, Noomali prepares to walk again. This time she grabs her length of rope and sword and walks toward the bush in search of firewood. Gathering and hauling firewood is another essential job of the Maasai woman. The Maasai cook over an open fire fueled with wood and brush from the surrounding area.
