Wells for Kenya

Wells for Kenya - Beta Charitable Trust
Beta Charitable Trust sponsored the digging of 5 wells in Wajir County, Kenya. This county has suffered repeated droughts and famine which, together with extreme poverty, has led to chronic food insecurity among its people. These wells projects intend to improve water supply and encourage farming thus reducing food insecurity in this region.

The shallow wells provide the much needed water for domestic use and for irrigation in kitchen gardens. Furthermore this has encouraged many to start small scale agriculture. This is expected to improve their coping capability during the next drought and famine.

Below are the details of the well digging beneficiaries.
