Boreholes cost about £1000 and give locals employment
as these are often hand dug.
Water holes can make such a difference to lives
Water Projects
Many Kenyans walk miles to the river for water every day. The
daily meeting point for many women where they wash their clothes, bathe and feed their animals. This same river water
is then carried home for cooking and drinking, hence there is much disease and illness.
HOW CAN WE MAKE
A DIFFERENCE?
£1000 in most areas will provide
a hand dug well for a village, a machine drilled 'borehole' may cost £8000. To date the SONshine Club Kenya Project has raised £15,000 towards Water Projects. This alone will help change
their life style and clean, fresh water will ultimately make a difference to their health.
A NEW WATER PROJECT
We have ordered 100 'LifeStraw® family' water purifiers - point-of-use
water filters -which hopefully will give 100 families the opportunity of filtering river water, which will remove many of
the bacteria, parasites, viruses subsequently reducing many of the water borne diseases.
