Water Clean up Project in Kenya
In the neighborhood that we stayed a water source (spring) was no longer being used to collect water. It was not being maintained. Animals had trampled the area and it was a muddy mess.
For homes water is collected from rainwater and also carried from a water source or delivered to a cistern. Having another nearby collection area was a useful gift to the community. It will be used by a many as 1500 families.
PGF met with local leaders, a political leader , neighbors, the land owner and an engineer. A proposal was drawn up the the Kenyas would secure 25% of the cost and when it was in hand, PGF would cover the remaining cost up to a specified limit. The local funds were collected quickly. The workers had the site up and running within weeks!
Water is collected daily, generally by women and children. A maintenance plan is also in place to protect the improvements that were done! A report is being submitted to PGF about current usage and state of the site. Seems to be working out well. Neighborhood feedback is great!
More about Kenya
A partnership between Patti VanderLoop and Joshua Chemabus (PICOS) started 15 years ago. We offer financial support and bring a mattress to financially wanting individuals of Kenya. For example November 2024 produced 17 home visits up in the remote areas of the mountains. The water source project was also completed.
The Kenyas who have been visited
are so grateful. they are encouraged to "Love One Another" and share when they have any ability to do so.
This is the area in the home where this family slept. Many of our friends have never slept on a mattress in 80 years of life.
In October Patti and Joseph spoke to children in 5 schools about health: Handwashing, Dental care and Exercise/activity and Being Respectful of others, and How to deal with Anger.
The roof of this house was repaired for
a single woman who was so unsafe in her own home.
