Peter Nathan (R), VFI representative to Kenya, helps local resident
Wycliffe Abok roll a water tank into place. These plastic
tanks are very
light and very easily located and will store 5,000 litres of
water.
Then a trench is dug and the pipe is laid from the River to
the
compound. Once in place the community will have water “on
tap” 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. The ladies of the community are so appreciative of the fact that they no longer have to walk three kilometres for each bucket of water, nor spend hours purifying water by boiling over an open fire. In this little compound there are seven houses, so between them all there are many hours saved each day by having the water piped in. This will dramatically change their lives allowing them to focus on other tasks to improve their living conditions. In addition, it is now possible for them to sell purified water to others in the area, enabling them to cover the cost of the treated water supplied..
