In partnership with the charity ACEF (Akamba Children’s Education Fund) and Guide Leader Sarah Hole, we have recently shipped a second AquaFilter Community unit to a school in Kenya. This follows the shipment of the first filter in October 2015, which is being used extensively in the school to provide clean drinking water.
ACEF works to advance the education and health of over 1000 children who attend the Brainhouse Academy in Mathare North, Nairobi, which was established by the local community in 2003 to help educate street children, vulnerable children and children of families unable to afford the cost of education.
Having safe drinking water every day at the school is an amazing thing in an environment without clean piped water, but for the children there has been an even bigger celebration – using the water to have squash – their first opportunity to ever have this in school!
