DESCRIPTION

Through the support from Jewish Helping Hands on June 19, 2019, Kajiei Mixed Secondary School launched its first Water kiosk at school, which serves Kajiei Primary School, a dispensary, and St. Agnes Catholic Church. An abandoned borehole at Kajiei Primary School had not been operational for close to two years because the community did not have the resources to revive the project. The community was dependent on a seasonal swamp, which did not meet the water demands of the whole community. The students from Kajiei Mixed Secondary School had to occasionally interrupt their school program to go long distances to fetch water, exposing them to insecurities. The school administration had sought to buy water to cater for the boarding section and school feeding program, as they were spending close to Kshs 15,000 on a weekly basis. During the launch, training was conducted for some students and teachers on how to record the water sales at the kiosk. 720 re-usable water bottles were distributed to the secondary and primary schools. The water kiosk provides clean tap water to 1000 students and 2000 community residents.
