Water for West Pokot

This is a video I found on YouTube about the plight of the Pokot of West Pokot. Unlike the people of Marich and those people that live along the Moruny and WeiWei Rivers, most people

lack one of the basic needs of life - WATER!

 

GREAT NEWS - I have just read that the Waterfall Project has been completed.

The organisation concerned is HARVESTERS INTERNATIONAL.
