Where we work

Picture
Kenyan staff members work to ensure each water project is managed sustainably by the local community. Due to strong grassroots US donor support and low overhead, nearly USD$1.5 million have been channeled into local economies to benefit more than 50,000 community members from our project areas in Kenya, especially women and young girls who were traditionally burdened with obtaining water.

By not having to walk long distances to obtain water, girls are free to pursue education. Girls who stay in school have improved income opportunities and can help their families in the future. In addition, with girls staying in school longer, they can have fewer pregnancies, which leads to lower maternal mortality rates and better chances for gender equality.

Everyday, all year round, our 21 completed water projects are providing easy access to clean water to over 50,000 individuals and their livestock daily.

In the eight years since we started our Livestock As a Business (LAB) program, 450 individuals have directly benefited, reducing drought-related animal losses from 75% in the drought of 2009-2010 to 15% in the 2017 drought. In addition, improved skills learned in LAB trainings like disease prevention and control, good feeds and grass management have resulted in a 50% increase in the value of livestock at the market. This money goes directly into people’s pocket for school fees, maintaining water supply and other family needs.

What Our donors Are Saying

After ten years of financial support, with countless follow-up reports, conversations, photos and video clips, we made a site visit to Water is Life Kenya's Amboseli operations in late November, 2018.  The visit - and our assessment of the organization - well exceeded our expectations.

A few years ago, a friend invited me to a church dinner where a Water is Life Kenya speaker gave a presentation.  It changed my life.  Intrigued, I wanted to know more.... I have since donated and visited Joyce in Kenya three times with my family.
