Expansion of Bang’a water dam started

In 2021, the Saidia Kwale Foundation in Bang’a had a basin (locally they call this a ‘dam’) built for the storage of water during the rainy season. Much needed because climate change is hitting this part of Africa hard.

The management of the dam is – with a little help from our side – now firmly embedded in the local community.

In the coming weeks, the dam will be considerably expanded and a sturdy fence will be built around it. The other facilities are also being constructed, which are necessary to increase the safety and use of the dam.

October in Bang’a and Kasemeni

In October I visited Bang’a and Kasemeni again, took a closer look at our projects and, together with the local population, investigated what the next steps should be. The projects are generally going well, but it also shows again and again how much work still needs to be done.

This summer, the dispensary was actually put into use. Shortly after the start, the first delivery took place and a Masai boy came into the world healthy. Meanwhile, the waiting room is full every day.
