A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor We have had a very big challenge accessing water, since we would have to get the water about 2 kilometres from the nearby stream. At times during dry season we would have a big challenge. Thank you for accepting our humble request, in assisting us in drilling a well at the orphanage, we really appreciate your kind support. Lucy Njenga Project Manager

Pump Serial # 64646 Chazon Children's Home is a located in a place that was hit by tribal clashes. The war left many destitute children. It is in this response that Chazon Children Centre was started, 10 years ago. The Centre takes care of 436 children. Three years ago Chazon Children' s Home was established. The orphanage takes care of 23 children and has a vision of expanding the home. We have a lot of activities at the orphanage eg dairy zero grazing, chicken farming and the proceeds assist both the Centre and Orphanage with the day to day maintenance.
