Project Description

Country: Kenya

Location: Gilgil

Total Budget: $3,000

Area of Focus: Economic and community development

Activity Type: Food/Agriculture: General

Summary: To provide two (2) trip irrigation kits to Ubuntu Children's home in Gilgil , Kenya


Ubuntu For Life is a home that caters for orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya.

Main focus is on the education of the boy child. The children are from the streets around and in Gilgil.

Gilgil at present has a population of 120,000 Inhabitants. Within this township exists a slum called Lelusha which has 700 inhabitants. The Organization's overall mission is to reinforce the ability of the targeted community to take care of its own Orphans and Vulnerable children's academic development in order to create a stable society.

Ubuntu For Life is in Naivasha district, Gilgil division, and karunga location at Langalanga estate. It is 15 kms along Gilgil Miharati road. The place is well known as Konoike.

There is a general water problem in the area. The only proximate source of water is river malewa. When it rains, all the water in the area runs down to the river. These water source dry up during very dry seasons. Traditionally it is left to the children to fetch water and disrupts the lives of children as they have to walk long distances to the river.and wait for many hours. This affects their education as they are late to go to school and are too tired to concentrate.

They will benefit from Drip irrigation and farming.

Lack of sustainable farming:

Farming is done on the land but the yield is little as the water is not enough. Rain water is not reliable in the area.

Club members will oversee how funds are disbursed and follow the procurement process to engage the services of a professional. The members under the leadership of the project coordinator will coordinate the activities of the Project, together with the community members, officials and Maintenance Officers. Rotary club of Karen Committee will monitor the project implementation at every stage.

The project will be supervised by the Director, Staff, Community beneficiaries/ officers and volunteers. The club members will also visit the project at different stages till completion and commissioning.

Phase one of the project was done @ $2500 and phase II will commence soon since we received support from Dist. 5340 $ 1,575 and the RC Karen will match the balance since we do not have another donor

The budget is $ 3000 for the drip irrigation.We hope to commence the project the last week of May 2017.
