The Kaumba Project
The Kaumba Project began in July 2010 after Mwende Lefler traveled to the Kaumba region of Kitui, Kenya to visit her family and witnessed the daily struggle of finding and transporting water as well as the lack of clean water in the area. Being a civil/environmental engineer by trade, the disparity between the accessibility of clean water in the States and in Kenya was shocking. After returning home, Mwende’s desire to find a way to bring clean drinking water to her family and the community of Kitui, Kenya grew.
Through her research, she found The Samburu Project and saw the similarities in both their inspiration and goals. Seeing the success of The Samburu Project, she knew this vision could become a reality.
The planning of the borehole is already in the works. A local Water Board committee has been formed to govern the project and manage the well. The local primary school for the Kaumba region will be the location for the borehole. The site is centrally located and will provide children, one of the populations most vulnerable to water diseases, the first access to clean water.
