We’re delighted to report that our first water tower in Kenya is fully operational, providing a consistent supply of fresh water to the village. The recent installation of solar panels has ensured a reliable, sustainable power source for the pump system, marking another significant milestone in our mission.
Successful Return and Future Planning
Our team members have now returned to the UK, focusing on securing funding and preparing for future projects. The inaugural mission has exceeded our expectations, not only in its primary objective but in revealing numerous opportunities to extend our impact in the region.
New Opportunities to Serve
During our time in Kenya, we encountered several compelling situations where we could make a real difference. One particularly promising opportunity involves a local school currently burdened by expensive water delivery costs. They’ve received a substantial quote for a commercial borehole installation, but we’re confident we can provide a more cost-effective solution, allowing the school to redirect precious resources toward education rather than water procurement.
Building Relationships
The warmth and gratitude of the local community have touched our hearts deeply. Our team members were particularly moved by interactions with local children and have provided football equipment for some of the boys, understanding that community development extends beyond basic infrastructure.
A Sustainable Future
The water tower now stands as a symbol of hope and progress, with multiple taps providing easy access for the village. We’re particularly proud of the sustainable management system we’ve established – the local community has taken ownership of the maintenance, with our Kenyan representatives readily available to provide support when needed.

While we celebrate this success, we’re acutely aware of how many more communities could benefit from similar projects. Your donations, no matter the size, directly contribute to transforming lives. Whether it’s helping a school access affordable water or bringing fresh water to another village, every pound makes a difference.
