Update from Karima, Kenya


Its pretty awesome to send off a team to Kenya knowing that they are going to see the impact that a water well had on a community that they helped fund. About 5 days into their trip now, they can already tell the shift the community has had in the right direction. Rather than being focused on the need for water, the team is helping add new rooms to the school house in Karima because more kids are getting to come to school so the classrooms are overfilled! This is a great problem to have considering just over a year ago members of the community were walking miles to fetch dirty water at the bottom of a 100ft hill. It's great to see the immediate impact that something as simple as clean water is having on a community! With that problem out of the way, Karima's 5000-6000 residents will be able to focus on education and simple business solutions to help their living conditions even more. There future is looking bright and we can't wait to see what God will do through them!
