Clean Water and Bathroom Renovations Needed
Watu Wa Maana, located in Ruiru, Kenya, urgently needs support to address the challenges of accessing a consistent source of clean water.
Currently, the home only receives water from the city a couple of days a week. The water they receive is not clean, and their holding tank is too small for the quantity of water that is needed, and it is also contaminated. The challenges this poses due to the inconsistent water availability and untreated water is risking the health of children and staff at the home.
The children and staff have limited water for the toilets and bathing. The children take bucket baths, if the unclean city water is on, and the cook washes the children’s clothing in large buckets.
With this urgency at hand, we are setting out to provide them with one of two options:
Option 1 - $10,000: Water filtration system, additional tank, installation of showers and a laundry sink and countertop
Option 2 - $19,000: All of the above, plus a well providing unlimited water supply and a larger reservoir.
With your support, we can:
* Provide a consistent source of clean water for the children.
* Eliminate using contaminated water for brushing teeth, bathing, and drinking.
* Eliminate the need to boil water before consumption.
* Provide long-term sustainability for the home with a well.
Thank you for your consideration. Every contribution, no matter the size, takes us one step closer to providing what these children need to not just survive,but thrive.
