Walibese Spring, Endeli Village, Kenya

Completion date: 8/15/2016
Number served: 500

“During our initial visit, it was obvious there were tadpoles and frog eggs (in) the spring!" - Excerpt from project report

Imagine collecting water from a source where you can see tadpoles swimming and frog eggs in the water. This water was also contaminated with dangerous bacteria due to animals watering in the spring and by surface runoff in an area where there was open defecation. Thankfully, the people in Endeli now have a clean, safe water source! The Walibese spring protection project also included extensive sanitation and hygiene training as well as the construction of five sanitation platforms for latrines.
