Prior to the construction of a Water Kiosk at School at Kamaata, the school depended on one water source - Kang’aanga tank - which is located about 2.7 kilometers away. This tank is the main water source serving the Cheptais area, which has about 10,000 community residents. However, community residents can only access it for a regulated period of time. Due to the limited water supply at the tank, they are not able to fetch water beyond 12noon for rationing purposes. The water pump switches off at 12noon until the next day. Therefore, students have to walk to and from the water source, competing with other community residents to fetch water and carry it on their heads or backs, thereby exposing them to a multitude of dangers. The water kiosk has relieved the school of the cost of buying water and presents a source of clean and accessible drinking water.
