The Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club is a proud Water is Life, Keyna contributor.
Our guest speakers on July 12th were Aaron Leema, Outreach & Operations Manager of “Water is Life, Kenya,” and Jerry A. Bilton, President-Elect of the Newark Rotary Club. Jerry and his club are leading the effort in Rotary 7630 to support purchasing and installing pumps and generators for much-needed water wells in rural Kenya.
Thanks to the work on the water project, women and girls no longer have to walk 12 hours a day to collect clean water. This huge time savings allows them to realize their potential within their communities. What is Life Kenya works with groups of 15 to 20 individuals who share the responsibility of livestock management. Overall, WILK’s training and microloan program has helped the groups build route resilience energy with 40% net profit on cattle sold. Moreover, 318 women experience their first opportunity to own cattle!
Water is Life Kenya is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving & empowering Maasai communities through WASH projects & resource management training.
