An Update from Engilai, Kenya

We have received an update on a water project on which we started funding, and eventually received help from five other clubs in District 6690.

The project has been completed and we’ve received a lovely letter of thanks.

The letter includes these words, which indicate how very remote the area is.

“The Head (Teacher) said he’d written and posted a letter a while ago, though it never reached us, so we eventually managed to get the message back up to him (where he has no phone reception)… and he has now sent us another by hand all the way from Engilai to Nairobi, via numerous hands and villages.

Three months’ into the installation of the rainwater harvesting system and now well into the rainy season, the tanks are full and the system is running perfectly. It is now for us to see how long the water lasts the community through the dry season and we shall report back accordingly.”

Thanks to all of you for the generosity that allowed this project to happen.
