A well for the 5,000 inhabitants of Salabwek:
Three years ago, 90% of the inhabitants of Salabwek, a village in Kenya’s Masai Mara region, did not have access to safe drinking water. Mothers and children needed to walk an entire day to fill a 20L bottle with water from the contaminated Mara River. SVQF and its partne...r organization, Free The Children, provided Salabwek with a rain harvesting system that funneled the rain into a storage tank connected to a pump sanitizing the water. The community also attended workshops on the health risks associated with using contaminated water.
Over time, the demand for a consistent source of safe water has grown due to the region’s 2-year drought and an expanded population with greater health awareness. In response, this week SVQF provided $50,000 for the construction of a well that will be dug deeper than traditional water wells to ensure safe water for Salabwek’s people for years to come.
