A remote place with great hope<\/strong><\/h3>

Mperrishi is located in Kajiado County, around 90 km from Nairobi. Around 5,000 people, mainly Maasai, live here without medical care or access to clean water. <\/p>

Education begins with a vision<\/strong><\/h3>

Parents founded an elementary school in 2001. It was not officially recognized until 2016. Today, around 200 children attend classes – and the number continues to rise thanks to water and school meals. <\/p>

Our help on site<\/strong><\/h3>

Since 2022, the WeCare Association has been supplying 20,000 liters of water per month and funding a school feeding program. An additional hot meal was added in 2025. This strengthens education – and the parents’ confidence. <\/p>

Why a borehole changes everything<\/strong><\/h3>

A 200 m deep well provides clean water, prevents diseases, relieves the burden on women and children and improves the chance of education.<\/p>

Sustainability through personal responsibility<\/strong><\/h3>

A trained committee operates the well. A small fee per bucket of water finances maintenance and projects such as gardens and chicken coops. Hygiene workshops strengthen knowledge and self-help. <\/p>

Costs and impact<\/strong><\/h3>

The well costs around CHF 45,000. The municipality of Mperrishi is responsible for its operation. The service life is around 25 years. <\/p><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
