Faces of Water
Wahome
Sweetwaters Secondary School in Nanyuki, Kenya
Wahome dreams of becoming a lawyer. Previously, Wahome’s family utilized sparse rainfall for their water needs. This uncertainty and lack of reliable access to clean water put a lot of stress on Wahome and made it hard for her to concentrate on her studies. But, now, these worries are a thing of the past.
A new water well was drilled at her school in March 2021, and now, not only do Wahome and her 350+ classmates have a lasting source of clean water, but they can also focus more fully on their dreams and aspirations.
