ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM OF WATER SHORTAGE

 For a long time the peaple in the villages we serve have suffered with the problem of water scarcity. 

Homes in these villages don't have piped water in their houses and have to move out to get it. Most times they buy it from those who have water tanks at their homes or the community taps which serve many peaple.

 However, during the dry season (June-August), the problem is worse because families mainly depend on harvesting rain water. So when there is little rain, peaple walk for up to 5km or more to the main water source in town. 

We and the supported families are so grateful to one of our sponsors who funded us to construct a water tank for our families to use. We also thank the family that allowed it to be put in their secure compound within reach of our children.

They now have access to safe water within a short walking distance from their homes! The availability of clean water will help to improve on the hygiene and general health of our supported families.

God bless you so much!
