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

Students of New Light Academy in Nakuru county would drink and wash from a nearby shallow well during the school time. The time spent to go to the shallow well for water and back took so much school time from the students. However, Lifewater Canada donors funded the drilling of a new well in New Light Academy, and installed a new hand pump. The students of New Light Academy are now enjoying clean and safe drinking and washing water from the school's new well.
