Meet Barak 👋
This 10-year-old from Greenlight, Kenya loves studying math and dreams of traveling the world.
Each day Barak walks 1.5 km to school and helps care for his family’s cows. His dream? Becoming a bus driver so he can travel and make friends everywhere he goes. 🚌
Before his school had clean water, staying healthy and focused was a daily challenge. Today, Barak drinks clean water throughout the school day — and even brings some home for his family.
His words say it best:
“Clean water is life.” 💧
