Mukava Community, Kenya

Completed: November 2022
Serves: 200 people

The lines to fetch water at Benson Lumbasi Spring get so long that sometimes people give up and go home. But water is essential for cooking, cleaning, and farming, not to mention drinking and staying alive. With all the time wasted in line, one would hope the water from the spring would at least be of good quality. Instead, it infects community members — especially children and the elderly — with sometimes-deadly infections like cholera and typhoid.
