A message from the community

We as the Kanyangwara community, we want to express our sincerely gratitude to Lifewater Canada and Stada Kenya for drilling a new borehole in our community and granting us the rare opportunity to access clean drinking water. Thank you for touching our lives. May God bless you.

Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

A river running across the community of Kanyangwara  in Kenya's Kisumu county was the only source of water known to the residents. The residents would harvest rainwater whenever it rained but the stored water would not last long, so the community members would get back to collecting water from the river.

Luckily  for them, not anymore, because Stada Kenya and Lifewater Canada worked together to drill a new well for the people of Kanyangwara, and install a new hand pump. Thanks to Lifewater Canada donors, everyone in Kanyangwara community is able to collect clean water from the communal well.
