Faces of Water
Charity
14 years old • Muruku, Kenya

Meet Charity in Muruku, Kenya, where we’re breaking ground on our 100th project on April 25th, 2022.
Currently, Charity misses class to walk 5 km (3.1 mi) to fetch water from the river multiple times a day. The water is contaminated and oftentimes, because of the long journey, she isn’t able to collect enough for her family. This prevents her from having the clean water she needs to drink, wash, cook, and focus on her dreams of becoming a doctor.
But, this will all change soon! We can’t wait to see Charity be able to go to school regularly, stay healthy, and work towards her dream.
“The new project will help me in life.”
