About the Turkana People
Population: The Turkana people are an unreached, nomadic tribe living in the desert of northwestern Kenya. They are approximately half a million people living in extreme conditions.
Living Conditions: They live in a dry and barren land with daytime temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius. They lack food, water, medicine, and education.
Daily Struggles: The women walk up to 50 kms a day to carry 20 litres of contaminated water back for their families. The children exist on a diet of boiled maize flour and water, most of them eating only once every 2 days.
Health Crisis: 80% of all hospitalizations are due to waterborne diseases. Life expectancy is approximately 40 years. They call themselves the forgotten people... But they are not forgotten!
Join Us: With your help, we are bringing clean water to the Turkana. Join us this year and let's continue the amazing work that is happening in Kenya.
