A message from the community

The members of Jakawino community, wish to say thank you to Lifewater Canada and Stada Kenya for taking care of our water needs by drilling a new well in our community. We are so blessed to have access to clean and safe drinking water for the first time in our community. May God bless you all.

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

For years, people living in Jakawino village in Kenya's Kisumu county did not have access to clean drinking water, this is because the community did not have a nearby source of clean water. Everyone would collect water from a nearby river because it was all they could afford.

But not anymore, because Lifewater Canada afforded the residents of Jakawino community by partnering with Stada Kenya to drill a well for the community, and install a new hand pump. Everyone in Jakawino village is happily drinking and washing from the village's new well.
