Stay Tuned



A new travel team is gearing up and getting ready to finally return to Kenya! For this implementation trip, the travel team will consist of students Jay Tobia, Meena Mallela, Nicole Emmanuel, Priyesh Shah, Gautam Venkatesan, Christine Nguyen, along with our two mentors Natalya Shimunova and Will Reardon. We will be flying out on December 26th and returning January 18th

Since the last trip, we’ve all been working hard to design a rainwater catchment system for two schools in Kolunje, Kenya. This design improves upon the existing system currently in place at Miranga Primary School and Archbishop Okoth Secondary School. During our time in Kenya, the travel team will oversee the installation new gutters, tanks, and first flush systems that make up our design. 

Although the scope our project has altered slightly from the last trip, the goal is still the same: to supply the community with a sustainable source of clean water. We look forward to working with the community to achieve this goal. Stay tuned for more updates!
