At Jamii Kwanza, we have always focused on supporting and empowering young people to help them grow in a positive environment. In early 2023, we carried out a project that greatly improved our ability to achieve this goal. Through the kind donations of private sponsors, we were able to bring electricity to our youth center and build a much needed water well.
Before the implementation of this project, our center faced significant challenges due to the lack of electricity and access to clean water and sanitation facilities. Without electricity, our ability to provide certain types of programmes was severely limited. Additionally, the absence of a reliable water source made it difficult to maintain hygienic conditions and provide for the basic needs of our beneficiaries.
The water well has provided a reliable source of clean water for drinking, cooking and sanitation, significantly improving the overall well-being of our beneficiaries. Several months after having built the water well, we were lucky to receive yet another generous donation with which we built our first toilet facility at the centre.
Gone are the days were we had to ask to use our neighbours’ water source or toilets or charge our devices at their homes. Not only did it create great convenience for ourselves but our water pump can also be used by the local community.
