Every day women and children spend 200 million hours fetching and collecting water. This is time that could be spent on income generating activities, domestic chores, and education for children.

Before the tank installation, John Koech, a retired teacher from Leldaet, Bomet County shares it was difficult to go fetch water that was not necessarily clean from the river which was 3 kilometers away. Further, they could only carry 20 liters jerrycans which could end up being 3 trips in a day.
