Launched a lunch program for 250 children each day. - Agriculture - crops are being grown all year round thanks to a consistent water source via the borehole, allowing the school to be self-sufficient in providing food for over 250 children at the school and rescue center. Additional crops can now be sold to the community, when before they relied on the rains and many seasons the crops failed. The borehole now makes Lenkai Christian School a sought after source of clean water and reliable nutritious food.- Chicken coops - raised funds for a chicken coop project impacting 250 widows caring for over 600 children.

This important process allows us to analyze the water filter data to carefully monitor our success rates and make any adjustments in the areas in which we serve. We are currently collecting the data using a paper based system and entering it into spreadsheets, then it is uploaded and shared in a cloud based system which is accessible anywhere in the world. The data shows children are missing 96% fewer days in class and families are spending 92% less money on medical. That is amazing!- WASH - Water and Sanitation Hygiene training has been provided to over 2000 people.- Recycled Paper Bead Program - This continues to thrive and offers significant support to our Clean Water Program. It provides sustainable income to the Masai women from whom we purchase the beads. The program also provides volunteer opportunities for young people, corporate team building events, and others as they help us to string the beads into bracelets.
