Karibu Kenya!
By the end of the day the first blisters had started to develop on all of our hands after swinging the pick axe, pounding the ground with a jimbe or scraping away at the stubborn earth with a long Maasai ‘sword’.
Saaten School – YTK 2017 Project
We will be taking a group of eight high school students to Kenya in a couple of months. The group has been training, studying and working hard at fundraising since last July. The primary focus is on building relationships and giving the students the experience to see first-hand how different life is for most people who live outside the western world. We won’t just be sight-seeing, we will be partnering with the locals and working on established MOM projects in three areas: clean water development, health and hygiene training and kids ministry.
Progress
The crew has been working steadily to install the towers, solar panels and tanks at both locations of the new boreholes – Oiti and Eluai. They are awaiting the arrival of the pumps. As soon as these are installed water will be flowing to nourish families and animals with clean life-giving water!
Water at last!
The second phase of the borehole projects at Eluai and Oiti have begun! The company contracted to install the pump and solar power system arrived last week and have been working hard with the help of the local community members. We expect that 100’s of families will have access to the clean water for the first time by next week.
