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

People living in Kamisia Women Group community in Kenya's Kisumu county would collect water from a shallow well. The shallow well's water was not clean for drinking but the residents could not afford anything beyond that. However, Lifewater Canada partnered with Stada Kenya to drill a new well for the community and install a hand pump. For the first time ever, the community of Kamisia Women Group has a source of clean and safe drinking water, which is their new communal well.
