Estimated Population with Access to New Water Supply
41,200 people

Kiguru Primary School Kiguru is near Amboni Primary/Simbara Secondary and very close to the Rhino Fence which is the boundary between the Aberdare National Park and neighboring farming areas. The children attending this school currently drink from untreated rain and surface water sources that are often rife with diseases including Typhoid. Well Aware will install a rainwater catchment and UV filtration system to provide drinking and irrigation water to fulfill the needs of the Kiguru School. They will be using the water for drinking and cooking and for irrigated agriculture to supplement the children's diet as well as bring in additional income for the school. Power Source for Water System: Electricity Estimated Population with Access to New Water Supply: 450 people Long-term Work: Securing a source of clean water for the Kiguru Primary school will enable the students there to have fresh drinking water and increased revenue for the school in the form of saleable agricultural goods. Project Total: $ 3,900 USD Funding Progress to date : $ 3,900 USD Status: Completed Goal for Completion: September, 2012 Go to project page	Muthuini Primary School The Muthuini Primary school is located north of Aberdare National Park near the city of Nyahururu. Current water resources in the area are 1) small rainwater catchment systems (untreated) used by the villagers and 2) untreated surface water reservoirs (including small ponds etc). These water sources are shared with livestock and multiple families and have high risk of contamination. The Muthuini School proposes to use a rainwater catchment and UV filtration system to provide drinking and irrigation water to fulfill their needs. They will be using the water for drinking and cooking, for irrigated agriculture to supplement the children's diet as well as bring in additional income for the school, and for irrigation of newly planted trees on the property to combat regional deforestation that has occurred. Estimated Population with Access to New Water Supply: 250 people Long-term Work: Securing a source of clean water for the Muthuini Primary school will enable the students there to have fresh drinking water, increase revenue for the school in the form of saleable agricultural goods, and provide irrigation water for the re-forestation proposed by our partner organization, the Nobelity Project. Project Total: $ 4,500 USD Funding Progress to date : $ 4,500 USD Status: Completed Goal for Completion: September, 2012 Go to project page

Well Aware donors funded the solar electric powered system, and 500 and 1000 litre storage tanks. This completes the project begun by The Nobelity Project's installation of a 15,000 liter ferro-cement storage tank and installation of gutters.
