We are raising funds to build a water kiosk at Sokoni Primary School in Magunga, Homabay county, Kenya. Established in 1985 by the community to end clan feuds, Sokoni now serves 345 students. Currently, schoolchildren must travel 7 kilometers to the nearest lake to fetch water, which exhausts them and affects their school attendance and learning.
Access to clean drinking water remains a significant challenge in Kenya. As of 2022, only 59% of the population had access to safe drinking water. This remains a challenge today. Millions of Kenyans, including children, rely on unsafe water sources, leading to water-borne illnesses and missed educational opportunities.
The new water kiosk will benefit not only the students but communities on the whole. By providing a reliable source of clean water, we can improve the health and well-being of the entire community by preventing these communities from contracting waterborne-illnesses. The clean water source also frees up time for women and girls, typically responsible for walking miles to fetch water due to cultural traditions; women can now have time to seek out entrepreneurial opportunities, engage in agricultural activities or work and girls can continue their education.
Personal Story
Meet Amina, a 12-year-old student at Sokoni Primary School. Every morning, Amina wakes up at 5 AM to walk 7 kilometers to the nearest lake to fetch water for her family. This arduous journey leaves her exhausted and often late for school. Despite her determination, Amina struggles to concentrate in class due to fatigue. The new water kiosk will change Amina's life, allowing her to focus on her education and dream of a brighter future.
With your help, Amina and hundreds of other children will no longer have to make this exhausting journey. They will have the chance to thrive in school, stay healthy and build a better future for themselves and their community.
All funds raised will go directly to the organization and the creation of this kiosk, covering labor, materials, community events and travel expenses. Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of these children and their families.
Help us build a water kiosk at Sokoni Primary School and provide clean, safe drinking water at Sokoni Primary school.

We are raising funds to build a water fountain in Muhanga City Centre, located in central Rwanda. Southwest of the capital city Kigali, Muhanga is a crucial transit point for goods from the Southern and Western Provinces. Despite its importance, nearly 20% of Muhanga's citizens lack access to clean water, making water sanitation a top priority for the government.
Access to clean water is a significant challenge in Rwanda. As of 2022, only 87% of the population had access to improved drinking water sources, while 12% still relied on surface water from rivers or lakes. This remains a challenge today, and this lack of access leads to health issues and hinders daily life for many residents.
A new water fountain in Muhanga City Centre would transform the lives of residents and tourists, providing them with easy access to clean, safe drinking water.
Your donation will directly support the creation of this water fountain, covering costs for labor, materials, community events and travel. By contributing, you are helping to improve the health and well-being of hundreds of families in Muhanga.
Donate now to make a lasting impact on the lives of Muhanga's residents. Together, we can ensure that everyone has access to clean, safe drinking water.
