    I am a representative of a group in Kenya that helps the needy people in areas like Turkana, Marsabit who don’t have access to basic (everyday) needs. We intend to dig several boreholes in the area, so that the community people have access to fresh drinking water.
    Your support in this project will be highly appreciated.
