 Excerpt
from the Letter of Appreciation from Ukokolani Community, Kenya
(Originally in English)
We the people of the Ukokolani community write this letter to express our deepest gratitude to you for your kindness to us. Making safe, clean and reliable water accessible to all of us is truly a miracle! We live in one of the driest areas in Kenya, and water has always been our biggest problem. When it rains, we all draw water from a seasonal stream which originates from the Kyulu Hills. When rainfall decreases, as it did in the last ten years, that stream dries up, and people walk up to 10 kilometers in search of water. Our community has over the years suffered water borne diseases because the water from the stream is usually contaminated, being the only source of water for all the people as well as animals, both domestic and wild. With the provision of water from the borehole, we will take care of our domestic water needs adequately. We will also do small scale farming to supplement our diet, and it is our hope that our community’s health, and living standards will greatly improve. Yours most sincerely, (Signature) UKOKOLANI COMMUNITY
