Each day thousands of children die due to a lack of safe drinking water. In many regions of Africa people may walk as far as 10 miles to find a water supply. These water supplies are often contaminated by disease and bacteria which can lead to sickness and death. When water is scarce, water supplies are often points of local conflict as people and their livestock compete for this important life necessity.-Drilling For Life
Maji Matamu meaning sweet water in Kiswahili is a project of Garden of Hope International. We have experienced first hand the desperate need of clean water in the drought areas of Kitui and Machakos in eastern Kenya. We have chosen to partner with the Kangonde community of Machakos Kenya to drill a borehole at the site of a future missions station which will include the completion of a children's home.
