St. Joseph’s Kensekka Vocational Secondary School
At St Joseph’s Kensekka Vocational Secondary School — and across eleven surrounding villages — the community depends on a single dam for all their water needs. It is untreated, unsafe, and unreliable putting families at constant risk of waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid, and chronic diarrhoea. Girls often miss school because there are no safe or private sanitation facilities.
We’re expanding the dam, drilling a borehole and installing a new electric pump and filtration system to provide clean, safe drinking water. We’re building sanitation facilities and delivering hygiene training for families ensuring health dignity and improved school attendance.
Together, we can helps transform a community for generations.

The three-year Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Project at St Joseph’s Kensekka Vocational Secondary School will expand the dam, provide safe drinking water and install sanitation facilities for the school and surrounding community.
The project will deliver:
By giving clean water, you’re not just solving today’s problems — you’re transforming a community for generations. Safe water allows students to stay healthy, attend school, and build brighter futures.
As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive.
In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life.
But, with your help, this can change.
With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond.
Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
