Clean water is a very vital commodity for a healthy society, as hygiene is enhanced and wateborne diseases are greatly reduced. In realization of this, Sheepcare Community Centre is committed to providing clean water for the Soweto Slums; Naironi-Kenya. This was driven by the number of waterborne diseases cases in the socity and the poor hygiene, as open sewers were so rampant in the community, some could even use the sewerage water to use in their homes as their was lack of water. By the support of donors we managed to dig a 600ft community borehole to provide water for the community. This brough a sigh of relief to the community, this was witnessed by the huge number of people who could qeueu to fetch the water and our institution.
The number of waterborne diease cases have been greatly reduced, this is due to the report from the local community hospital, and the hygiene condition in the community has been upgraded. We are moved by the number of people who travel a quit distance to come and fetch water, and we are looking forward to do domestic water supply using pipes to their doorsteps to save them of walking long distances for this commodity.
We appreciate you for your continued support through the GlobalGiving platform, your support has helped us maintain the borehole to ensure continous water supply. The proceeds from the Gloval Giving fundraisers have helped us to pay for the running costs of maintaining the borehole, these includes, the electrity cost to pump the water, Repair and maintanance and personell. We appeal to you to you for your continued support and to help us reach like-minded individual within your reach to support us to see our dream our supply the water to the doorsteps through pipes come to pass.
Much blessings,
