My Story
This year I have made it a goal to run 1000km (I am currently at 925km completed) . As part of that goal, I am participating in the 10km Water Run to help raise funds to build wells. I would love your support for this project if you are able.
Description
Proudly presented by Nehemiah Construction Ministries, The Water Run helps bring clean water to the Turkana People of Kenya. Your support helps us bring help to those who need it most. The Turkana people are an unreached, nomadic tribe living in the desert of northwestern Kenya. There are half a million people living in extreme conditions. They live in a dry and barren land with daytime temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius.
They lack food, water, medicine, and education. The women will walk up to 50 kms a day to carry 20 litres of contaminated water back for their families. The children exist on a diet of boiled maise flour and water, most of them eating only once every 2 days. 80% of all hospitalizations are due to waterborne diseases. Life expectancy is approximately 40 years. They call themselves the forgotten people...
But they are not forgotten. Together we are changing lives in Kenya!
