Improved water access and hygien in rural schools

Kenya Voluntary Development Association (KVDA) has dedicated efforts towards this project that has greater potential for replication.

For over 7 months now, we are facing challenges in mobilization of financial resources towards the implementation of this project especially conducting an online fundraising as are still stuck at USD 35 and our team is concerned that the efforts have not realised the project donations and this is something we are working hard to achieve despite the limitations.

Our board meeting resolved that we revamp this program through in-house top up in order to bolster the process aware of the limitation.

When we peruse the GlobalGiving website, it is inspiring to see many organizations doing very well with remarkable donations coming in and our major concern is that our organization has still lags behind but the good work by other organizations inspires us to retrace our steps to enhance our capacities and make good progress.

In July and August 2025, KVDA deployed 20 volunteers from Kenya, Japan, France, Italy and Spain on the program at Emmabwi village where they were able to mould 564 bricks that are part of the initiative to develop this project and the enthusiasm and determination by members of the local community in collaboration with the volunteers from the global community was humbling and this is a good pointer on our overrall determination to enhance the capacity of the program despite the limitations.

The volunteers mentioned above were mobilized through our partner organizations abroad and Kenyan educational institutions and this is an inspiration to enhance the program and we are confident that a lot can be achieved through the community of efforts and especially leveraging on the obtaining potentials and capacities.

During  our next report, we expect to have tangible progress with a report on changed fortunes as we rally people across the world to respond to our call for donations and for sure the journey is perilous as the GlobalGiving community seems overwhelmed but the amount of support witnessed on the platform for other projects is inspiring.

KVDA through the face to face meeting with members of the local community recognised that the local people remain enthusiastic to support this project and the missing link are the finances to help us to overcome the barriers on the process.

KVDA calls upon friends, partners and all people of goodwill to respond to our calls for donations and this will in a big way contribute towards the successful implementation of this project that has greater potential for replication.

The support of GlobalGiving in this endeavour will be highly appreciated as it will make the big difference in our endeavour to have an impact on the community through enabling the people to have access to clean water and energy.

Appeal goes out to the GlobalGiving Secretariat to help us to have this project successful as there is great potential to share knowledge and expertize on the program for maximum effect and this can only be successful if KVDA is enabled to channel its appeal to the right potential donors and break the ceiling by having people of goodwill stepping out to support this important project that has the potential to make the difference.

We remain at your disposal as we dedicate efforts towards the successful implementation of this project.
