WATER IS EDUCATION: THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED
In 2021, we continued to build our partnerships with schools throughout Samburu. We distributed menstrual hygiene supplies to 12 schools, raised funds to expand the infrastructure at 2 more, and laid the groundwork for a new program in partnership with the Wamba Girls Secondary School Journalism Club giving girls an opportunity to tell their stories to a broader global audience.
Thanks to the generosity of the Family & Friends of Graham Keeley we also launched a new partnership with The Thorn Tree Project (SENET). Together we drilled a new borehole for the Lerata community and installed a solar system to pipe water to nearby Lerata Primary School
