Water shortage

Miale Support Programme office is located in Olympic estate in Kibera Slum.. The office is very important as it makes the programs operations simple and it’s accessible by the 136 children in the program since they live and school within the vicinity of Kibera. The office has a kitchen, a library, 1 room used as a reception area, 2 rooms used as classrooms and an office.
Miale office is facing a “water crisis” in spite of the long rains for the last one year. We spend approximately Ksh. 2000 per week when the children are around and Ksh 500 per week during the normal working days.
Water is life! The acute shortage of water is very dangerous because it poses danger to kids especially when we have to buy water and yet we are not sure where the water is fetched. A big reservoir of about 5000 Litres is of great need right now especially with the heavy rains and considering that Kibera is a big slum, high populated and with very poor sanitation.
We hope to get a bigger reservoir for water soon!! Considering the 136 children on board and we are yet to increase the number we need a solution very soon.
