Joyce, a resident of Lailuba, Kenya, has been struggling to access clean water due to unreliable rainfall in the area. However, her life and that of her community were transformed when she received a water tank. With a constant supply of clean water, Joyce can now engage in farming activities and grow a variety of crops throughout the year, improving her family’s nutrition and saving money. The water tank has also had a ripple effect on her community, enabling others to access clean water and engage in farming activities. Access to clean water has transformed the lives of people in semi-arid regions, and Joyce’s story is a testament to this.
