Project Overview

The Kaani community was facing a severe shortage of clean and safe drinking water. The existing water sources such as from the rivers and little rainfall available were contaminated, leading to various health issues and diseases including Amoeba, Bilharzia, and H. Pylori among the residents. Recognizing the urgency of a solution, Samuel Njunguna, a CorpsAfrica/Kenya Volunteer, worked with his community to facilitate and take action to implement a water purification project during his one year of service to solve the issues faced in accessing clean water. In collaboration with CorpsAfrica/Kenya, the community was able to implement the water purification project.
