   Kenya - Olkudate & Emamparis

Maasai Wells MG 2009

$55,000

The project is a Maasai water project situated in the Rift Valley of Kenya west of Nairobi.It involves drilling of two wells in the villages of Olkudate & Emamparisuai.Problem is that there is an acute shortage of water in these communities.The available water is in swamps, season rivers and small earth dams.It is not clean water and has led to rise of water born diseases such as typhoid, disentry and have become breeding places for mosquito that leed to malaria.

The intended beneficiaries are 1000 people at Emamparisuai, a school and a church.In addition even more people will benefit by piping the water from this village to another two schools away from this village.

Other beneficiaries are 500 people in Olkudate living in isolation with two wells far away from them requiring the children to walk many miles to school and the women do the same for water. A well in the village will allow a school to be built there and eliminate the need for the women to walk many miles for water
