I am happy to inform you about the current situation at the GOA Children Home Beat The Drum.
After we found water in May, it took about two months to install all the pipes and distribute the water to all the houses on the site. The two tanks have also been installed. The drilling company did an exemplary job.
There is still great joy about this “water miracle” at the children’s home. The good quality of the water has been confirmed. It is 40 degrees Celsius when it is pumped up!
Now the water can be stored in the two tanks. This provides a reserve of drinking water for the children and staff, as well as for the two cows, a few goats and chickens.
The home’s director is very grateful that they no longer have to obtain water by truck.
Your donation is still very welcome to cover the total costs of CHF 25,400.00.
In April 2024, I started a second project called Plant and Eat. This project involves all seven GOA Children’s Homes.
The plan is to improve the planting around the homes. Vegetable seedlings, new fruit trees, chicken coops and the cultivation of their own grain will improve the homes’ self-sufficiency.
I have found a reliable partner for this project in Peter Muchiri, an agronomist.
