Lifewater Community Church Water Well
The objective of this project is to raise the living standards of rural poor by delivering sustainable health and hygiene benefits through improvements in water supply within schools. ChooseAneed will be partnering with Lifewater Community Church with this project by purchasing the pump for the well. The pump will cost $500 USD.

Kano plains of Kisumu district in the republic of Kenya is one of the poorest regions within the republic of Kenya with a per capita income of US$ 220. As much as 40-60 per cent of the populations are below the poverty level. Because of flat topography of the area it does suffer from perennial floods once it rains on the nearby Nandi hills. The effluents from the sugar factory along the Nandi hills are carried down streams once it floods. This result in incidence of cholera outbreak and water-related diseases, which do contribute significantly to low productivity in the area. Rural productivity is also constrained by the high time cost of collecting water, often more than 4-5 hours per household per day. Completed!
