Our Kakamega Build Center sits right in the middle of these villages and Kambiri Market. It is our headquarters and home in Western Kenya and East Africa. Just about anywhere you have a home, you have neighbors. Neighbors that you care about, look out for, and would like to get to know a little better.

In the days and weeks leading up to the Kambiri Community Engagement, our team went door-to-door to survey the community. We spoke with farmers and elders, health workers and teachers. They told us that:

• soap isn’t available for everyone, so many don’t wash their hands

• most cook over unsafe smokey fires that pollute their lungs

• people routinely get sick from waterborne illnesses

• hours are spent every day retrieving and boiling water

But, we did find hope, because Kambiri receives good rainfall. They just need a way to capture and store it - we can do that!
