CLEAN WATER KENYA

Clean Water Kenya aims to eradicate the diseases associated with the polluted water the Maasai and Kampo population consumes. We believe this can be done over time with the introduction and implementation of our Portable Biological Water Filtration Systems and Rainwater Collection Barrels.

Clean Water Kenya works closely with 2 rural clinics in the Northeastern Rift Valley as well as 2 women's groups, a church and doctor in the northeastern Karanga region of Kenya near Mwingi. \r\nOur contacts invite village leaders to attend a seminar and learn how to construct, use and maintain our Filtration Systems. We also teach a basic course lesson on hygiene, waste management and sanitation.\r\nClean Water Kenya holds these seminars in the general geographical area where the villages are located. \r\nFollow-up documentation is done by a Field Coordinator every few months and reports are emailed to our Pennsylvania headquarters where they are reviewed and discussed and alternative strategies are offered to further increase the effectiveness of the project.

Ken Clark, the Founder of Clean Water Kenya, travels to Kenya every 6 months to hold teaching seminars and to document first-hand the effectiveness of the project. \r\nOur Field Coordinators meet with Mr. Clark in Nairobi and discuss the project's effectiveness, any improvements needed and future goals during the Seminar Follow-up Meeting.\r\nEvery few months our Volunteer Field Coordinators document the villages we have supplied for health improvements, filter maintenance and replacement, if necessary.

So far Clean Water Kenya has supplied 209 villages, 3 rural clinics, 1 small hospital, 4 volunteer families and 12school with our Filter Systems. Reports from these entities show village health is increasing in every area.\nThere are thousands of villages in the areas in which we work. Population is in the hundreds of thousands. The need is immense, the solution is simple and the implementation is long-term. \nWe have much work to do and few funds to do it. Bringing clean disease-free drinking water to the Maasai and Kampo People is Priority One for Clean Water Kenya. Funding needs to do this are a close second.
