Welcome to Living Waters International
Out of Africa ~ Kenya Project Update
April 2011

 

Currently we are working in Kenya, Africa where we assist the small communities of Kaswanga and Wanyama, two fishing villages on the eastern shores of heavily polluted Lake Victoria.

When we first came here these people had no clean drinking water, no clean water for medical care and due to heavy drought conditions they had no practical way to water their small gardens.

These communities are home to approximately 1000 orphan children who are living in "child-run" homes which had no clean water or adequate food. There are no orphanages, as there are no adults to care for or supervise them. Living Waters has been working here since 2006 and is committed to reducing the incidence of orphaned children and providing them with health, food and educational needs.

Living Waters operates a feeding center in Kaswanga Kenya that provides weekday meals, school uniforms and medical care to 135 orphan children. There are 8 full time staff employed to manage and operate the center and provide security and gardening in the two acre garden. Twenty eight of the children attending the feeding center have been baptized. Living Waters is also the major sponsor to Living Waters Kaswanga Academy where 56 students attend grades 1-4. While the team was in Kenya they erected the steel frame and roof for the new school.

She was wearing a dirty little blue dress the first time I noticed her and took her picture. She was looking at the mzungu’s (white foreigners) from a distance. There were lots of little ones who seemed to be wandering around without their mothers, but she was the littlest. She must be somewhere between two and three years old...She didn’t run towards me with the others and beg for attention. She didn’t giggle or run and play or sing. Usually she didn’t even look at me.
