Tell us your story. - When I young, I used to see my mother waking up to go in seach of water far away for over 5 hours so that I may wash and eat, now most people are old, rivers are drying up and no one can do it and I made a vow to myself that I'll give back to my parents and community what they did to me albeit in a small way, that is how I started the project
Please provide a personal bio. Note this may be used in Changemakers marketing material - I came from Ramba community an area that doesn't have reliable water except during rainy season , in kenya-Bondo District, the name of my place is called Ramba meaning dry place, unless we dig our own water we'll all perish, thank God, I've started one well but one is too little,I'm still looking for more people to help to sustain the community and members of other regions of Kenya so that we may leave in peace and go to school.
