    Clean Water for the Masai

    The Masai People of Suswa are in desperate need of clean drinking water. Due to geothermal activity in this area drilling for water is not an option. Drinking water in Kenya is difficult to come by but the Masai people are very ingenuitive. These people have been harvesting rainwater for generations. Rain in these areas comes for only 1-2 months annually. This water is gathered in huge ditches which they call dams. These dams are usually unlined and used as drinking water for both humans and livestock. Needless to say, these conditions can cause the spread of many illnesses which can easily be avoided.

    This reservoir is where the Masai source all drinking water.

    Above is an image of a “dam” in Kenya.

    AGU Girls Inc would like to combat the spread of disease by providing the Masai tribe with 10,000-liter containers for storing water. These huge storage containers will sit next to the building structure and collect the rainwater from the yearly downpour.

    These containers will help the Masai people by:
    Providing several places to gather water
    The closed containers will eliminate mosquito breeding
    Separate human/livestock water supplies

    Here is an example of water that was used to wash our hands before our meal which was prepared with the same water.

    AGU Girls Inc will not only be providing these tribes with these containers but we are also developing a water filter to accompany these tanks. This project will be rolled out in three phases:

    Phase One: Provide water storage tanks to the Masai people

    Sherris Girls water tank

    Our first 10,000-liter water tank was donated in 2018

    Phase Two: Provide water filters for these storage tanks

    SGE water filter

    Our water filters will accompany the water storage tanks

    Phase Three: Educate the Masai people on water safety, distribute water filters, and teach the people how to make their own filters

    This is a huge project that is impossible without your help! Clean drinking water is attainable for all the people of this earth if we share our blessings!

    We are working to provide the Masai of Suswa County with several 10,000-liter water storage tanks for rainwater harvesting.
