Celebrations linger in some parts of western Kenya as villagers of Emulele welcomed a new well earlier this month alongside the commencement of another well in Ebumweche village, two blessings that promise long lasting supply of clean water to these befitting populations.
To Emily and her family, it is a dream come true after years of enduring long treks in search for this precious life saving commodity and much more as a woman. She anticipates a productive future given that this solution frees up most of her days’ time which will be channeled towards economic activities she has long shelved.
Women bear most of the load of water fetching and most of the time find some relief in their children who skip school to help in this tedious daily task. The sinking of the latter well adds up our total wells to thirty-five and as its launching approaches we pray for its sustainability and unmatched service to its caretaker community.
