kenya waterRelief™project gap year

volunteer

transform arid desert into a sustainable life giving water supply

Population pressure, poor rains, deforestation and soil erosion means that the communities of rural Kenya are struggling to survive. Help build sand dams and give the people the gift of a sustainable year round water supply to drink and irrigate crops. Work with community self-help groups to improve their livelihoods, health and incomes. The communities we work with face many problems in their day to day lives, in particular the shortage of water and food. Their environment is also affected by deforestation.
