Luxury travel industry professionals have provided 315 children and their teachers with access to clean, safe water at Kenya’s Kavuvwani Primary School, by donating £5,000 to water charity Just a Drop.
The school is in the arid Kitui county, which is subject to severe droughts and communities lack access to water for drinking, growing crops and rearing livestock. Children used to have to bring heavy jerrycans of water to school, fetching it from a nearby river. This dirty water was unsuitable for drinking and often caused pupils to fall sick, meaning they missed school.
