New Kenya well provides safe clean water

The new well at Ntimigom school was bored last summer. On the last day the Kilgoris Project summer team was there it finally struck water. A church in Lubbock Texas provided the funding for the dig. Clean water helps keep the children from drinking out of muddy ditches where men wash their motorcycles and cows walk through and drink.
