Mukangu is a rural village comprised by 4,000 people, mostly small-scale farmers living way below the poverty line and without access to clean, drinking water. Presently, these families rely on polluted water from a nearby seasonal stream and women and children see themselves forced to hand-carry the water home, often by several kilometres.

We are aware that the demand for wells in Kenya is enormous and although many agencies have been working hard to provide them, not enough families have access to water, which is why independent efforts by groups like KULE are necessary.

Therefore, we have partnered with the Mukangu community to drill a more permanent and durable well than the hand-pumped ones. This will involve using machinery to drill the water (level: nearly 300 feet below), installing a water tank and pipes to store and distribute this precious commodity to each institution and homestead. The project will provide safe and more accessible drinking water for the whole community, thereby improving the health of all, and enabling villagers to start small-scale farming and business ventures, like keeping poultry and growing vegetables.

Help KULE eradicate poverty and bring drinking water to the rural community of Mukangu. Donate now or participate in our transformational Summer Program.
