A meetings industry charity has funded part of a Just a Drop project to deliver clean water to more than 5,000 people in Kenya.

The charity, Meeting Needs, provided £5,700 of the £19,000 cost of the Kwa Voki Sand Dam project.

The dam and a well make collecting water easier for the community. In addition, a food security programme was undertaken, which included how to grow drought resistant crops, use them sustainably and maintain a seed bank. Tree planting, terracing and governance training when selling excess crops were also tackled.
