A Testimonial from Kipranye Primary School
Kipranye Primary School, in the rural area of Bomet in Kenya, has long faced significant water challenges. Joyce Rotich, the headteacher of the school, recently shared the dire situation in a heartfelt report:
"I write to draw to your attention on the urgency of having a water tank for the school. The school faces water challenge forcing learners to fetch water from River Nyangores which is a distance from the school. The river also poses danger to learners for it is risky at its water banks, stiff slopes and at times slippery during the rainy season. Last year we experienced danger where a learner almost drowned after sliding from a slippery end. Luckily, there were parents nearby who were able to swim and save the learner. That experience has made the learners fear fetching water from the same river.
With the tank from your organization, the school will solve water challenges for the learners in that it will save them time which can be maximized in learning, thus improving their academic performance. It will also enable learners to access clean drinking water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases. It will also benefit the community as they will also fetch from the school, reducing the stress of walking long distances for clean, safe drinking water. Thanks for coming to our rescue."
Impact of the Water Harvesting Tank Project
The installation of a water harvesting tank at Kipranye Primary School will bring profound changes to the school and the surrounding community. Here are some of the key benefits as mention by the head teacher Madam Joyce Rotich
Safety for Learners: No longer do the students have to brave the dangerous journey to River Nyangores. The water tank ensures that they have a safe, reliable source of water right within their school premises.
Improved Academic Performance: With easy access to water, students can now spend more time in their classrooms instead of trekking long distances to fetch water. This shift allows them to focus more on their studies, leading to better academic outcomes.
Health and Hygiene: Access to clean drinking water significantly reduces the risk of waterborne diseases. This means fewer sick days for students, contributing to better overall health and consistent school attendance.
Community Benefits: The water tank doesn't just serve the school; it also benefits the surrounding community. Families can collect clean drinking water from the school, reducing the burden of long walks and ensuring they have safe drinking water.
Hope for the Future
The Hopefull Handbags Water Harvesting Tank Project, with the support of donors and well wishers like Sharyn Wilding and Beautiful Human Way, is a beacon of hope for many rural schools in Kenya. By addressing one of the most fundamental needs—access to clean water—we are not only improving the immediate conditions but also investing in the future of these children and their communities.
