Mbita, Kenya
Rotary Indianapolis granted The Village Cooperative a grant to install a rain catchment system at our primary school in the rural village of Mbita, Kenya. We are undertaking a huge push to improve the lives of the widows in our program, their families, and the kids at the school. We have built over 40 new homes, provided clean water filters, built new latrines, and are in the process of installing rain catchment systems for each widow. The grant Rotary provided was a huge step for us…now the 100+ kids at the school, the teachers, and the administrators have access to rain water they can store and purify…drastically improving the health of the children. It takes many partners and much coordination to undertake a program of this side and we are proud to have Rotary has one of our partners.
