Objective: Install a hybrid water pump for Gatero Girls’ Secondary School.

Summary: The school experienced frequent water shortages due to electrical problems. In January, we completed the installation of a solar pump at Gatero Girls' Secondary School. The project resulted from a partnership between us and Davis & Shirtliff with equal pledges totaling $9260. The school will benefit from lower electricity costs, an uninterrupted water supply for cleaning and farm irrigation, improving the girls' hygiene and nutrition for both physical and cognitive development.

No. of children: 1140 girls, 47 teachers and 15 additional staff.

Partner Background: Gatero Secondary School is a public boarding high school for girls in Nyandarua County. The school experienced frequent water interruptions that forced the girls to take off school time to fetch water from a river near the school. Irrigation was also difficult especially during the dry season.

Our partnership with Kitechild and their role in helping us start the Shamba (Kenyan for farm) and dairy farm has eliminated expenditure for vegetables and milk improving the children's nutrition and health greatly. The water borehole, the vegetables and the milk has also brought the community closer to us, as they come to get water and buy milk and vegtables. We are now coexisting well.

Wasilwa Lusweti, Watoto Wema Director

Kitechild doesn't give us handouts or tokens, they give us VALUE. They provided us with the seeds and funding to build two greenhouses and today we have greenhouses full of green tomatoes and are expanding the farm to grow onions and potatoes outside in the open air. This is never heard of before in Masai land, growing one's own food, but with their help we did it.

Charles Maina, former Mother Esther Director
