Detailed information
Goals overview
With these water wells, 22 small communities of 200 or 300 people will get access to safe drinking water close to their homes. This will improve the health situation, especially of those most vulnerable like small children.
Current status
Project plan
The Namelok foundation has a local counterpart in Kenya, Foundation Namelok Kenya. They are in charge of monitoring all the projects on a regular basis. They provide help with training and maintenance of the rope pumps. The Dutch Namelok foundation visits the area 2 times a year to evaluate the finished projects.
Especially women and children benefit from the water wells, they do not have to walk a long distance anymore to collect water for their families. The water from these wells is of better quality, which will reduce the prevalence of water born diseases.
