CLEAN DRINKING WATER
EAST AFRICA
Water is the most precious commodity in East Africa. In remote areas of Kenya women and children spend on average 40 percent of their time collecting and carrying water. If they had water close-by, that time could be spent on much more productive endeavors. Children could go to school instead of carrying water.
Obtaining water in Kenya where the water table is somtimes as low as 1,000 feet is very expensive.
A borehore will help provide water for a village, up to 500 families. In Africa most of the diseases are caused by the lack of clean water. The gift of clean water would be life changing.
Minimum goal: $30,000 - One borehole
