Kajiado County Well

Kajiado is in Eastern Kenya has been experiencing a two year extreme drought leaving the residents with little options for water. The drought in this region has decimated livestock to dangerous levels. This means that families have run out of food and financial resources. The drought in this area is so extreme it's made regional news. Our goal is to provide a solar powered, deep borehole well that will provide clean, reliable water for 2,000 people. This well will be absolutely life changing to the community and schools of Kajiado.
