Meet Faith from Katumani, Kenya! 😊

Faith is a 12-year-old student at Katumani Primary School and loves learning mathematics. She hopes to one day be an accountant and learn more about currencies.

With the rainwater collection system implemented at her school, there is no need for her to walk long distances in search of water anymore. She is also happy that the food is grown with clean water and she has better health.

“Water is life because if there is no water, animals and people cannot survive.” 💙

When clean water is not available, women and girls have the responsibility of fetching water in 80% of households.

This is a time-consuming and physically demanding task. Long journeys by foot, often more than once a day, causes many to drop out of school, continuing the cycle of poverty.

Well Aware knows that to break the cycle of poverty, education is key. By implementing sustainable water systems in our partner communities, girls and women are able to achieve their education and career goals. 📚💙

It all starts with one small stream! 💧 With 120+ projects completed across East Africa, we know how important that first droplet is.

#ShowerStrike starts on April 22nd and this is YOUR chance to join us in our clean water mission. Every $20 raised starts the stream of giving one person clean water for life, and when you raise $1,000 your name gets placed on a water system in Kenya! 🌎 💧

Take the pledge today to join us this year by clicking the link in our bio!

#DYK Over 3.9 billion people lack access to basic sanitation?

This year #ShowerStrike isnt just about lasting, clean water, but also about safe sanitation! Well Aware’s new Sanitation program will amplify the impact that clean water has on a community, by implementing toilets and hand wash stations alongside our water projects.

This program will empower girls and women to continue their education and help break the cycle of poverty. Join advocates from all over the world as we make clean water and sanitation a reality for more people.
