Urgent water well appeal!
Watch videoIn the area of Urimba Village, in Kenya, 30,000 people live without clean water. Many of them have to walk 3 miles every day to get water and that water is polluted. Children regularly die because of drinking polluted water. Disease affects many adults too.
Sadly, many young girls, the ones often sent to get water, are often raped by men waiting in the remote river areas where water is collected.
So RSVP’s Water Well Appeal will greatly reduce:
- Child death
- Adult disease and death
- The rape of teenage and underage girls
These people have been largely forgotten as they live in a poor remote area. But we believe everyone should have access to clean water.
We can stop the sickness and death now by installing a water pump that will give the people access to pure clean water. The cost of boring a well and installing a water pump is £5,400. We already have installed 4 water pumps at a cost of £21,600. We are planning more wells.
People collect dirty water for drinking.
