Help us to build a water pipe in Lorerei School

Disadvantaged girls from Turkana county, an arid region in Kenya, have seldom access to education. Culture there dictates that women and girls should cook, clean, take care of the children and the sick and finally bear children. And collect water.

Loturerei Junior Secondary School, a mixed day and boarding school, provides the rare opportunity to girls to access education. But the school is located 1km from the nearest water source and it's girls' chore to fetch water, interrupting their class. Meanwhile, it remains business as usual for their male peers whose learning continues uninterrupted.

Therefore, we are launching a campaign to pipe water to Loturerei School. This project will cost £2,000 and will make a profound difference in the lives of the students. By bringing water directly to the school, we will

• Ensure Continuous Learning: Girls will no longer need to leave their classes to fetch water, allowing them to focus on their education and keep pace with their male counterparts.

• Improve Health and Sanitation: Access to clean water will enhance the school’s sanitation facilities and provide safe drinking water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.

• Relieve Physical Strain: Girls will not have to endure the physical burden of carrying heavy water containers in harsh conditions.

• Make sure food is prepared in a timely and hygienic manner.

Alongside the pipeline, we aim to install an extra water storage tank to ensure that there’s consistent water supply. This will further support the school’s meal program, which many students rely on, and it will also go a long way in improving the overall school hygiene.
