Ronesa Junior School no longer has water! We need to raise funds to drill a new borehole on our school site in Kenya. The issue is two-fold. First, the 4-year drought has lowered the water levels available in the aquifer: the underground layer of water. Ground water from aquifers can be extracted using a water well. We already had a well drilled in 2016 and had been successfully pulling water to sustain our Ronesa community, but now it is completely dry because of the lower levels of water. We are literally pumping air! Second, there have been 2 new wells drilled within 100 yards of our well: the neighboring Polytech college, and a new landowner. Both of their wells are 50-100 meters deeper than ours; thus their wells are getting ALL the available water! We are currently buying water each week for the students and staff, but as you can imagine, that is getting very costly. We can not sustain the many programs we've worked so hard to develop without available water. More importantly, the students and staff are having to resort to accessing dirty water again, and in most cases sharing the water with their livestock. Water-borne diseases are once again disrupting their ability to learn and even attend school. Please donate to our fundraiser so that we can keep our beloved Ronesa community healthy, happy, and able to learn. Asante Sana (Thank You)!
