| Please will you help children in Kenya cope with climate change by providing clean drinking water and sanitation in schools?
We are working with the Greater Horn of Africa Rainwater Partnership and Kenya Rainwater Association to provide drinking water and sanitation facilities for schools and communities in six districts of Kenya that are threatened by climate change.
| Green |
- because we will improve the environment in response to climate change
|
| Clean |
- because we will improve access to clean drinking water and reduce disease
|
You can help us to provide rainwater harvesting facilities and new toilets for schools, improved reservoirs and a range of other services to help these communities for years to come. |

| In rural Kenya drought caused by global climate change threatens to make people’s lives untenable without measures to conserve what water there is. Local people are already living in really tough climatic conditions. There has been persistent drought in recent years. We would like your support to improve facilities for capturing and storing what rain there is, especially at schools like Bandana Primary School in Isiolo District where there is not enough drinking water for the children to get through the day and pupils have to bring water with them from home, sometimes several miles away.You can help by giving, fundraising and spreading the word. Just £3 per child is enough to provide clean water and sanitation in the schools we are working with. The money you raise will help the whole community through: |
- Systems to capture rainwater from school roofs and store it to
provide drinking water.
- New separate eco-toilets for girls and boys.
- Construction and improvement of community reservoirs and ‘sand dams’ that trap water below the sand surface.
- Training in conservation measures and dam maintenance.
- Sharing skills that make life easier, like making money from selling honey and growing more hay for cows - so there's more milk for children to drink.
