Sand Dams
Here is a short report, along with some photos (attached), that I received about the Kithunthi SHG sand dam, S.E Kenya, a few days ago. I hope that you can find a way of sharing this information with your club members.
Your clubs joined Easthampstead RC and made generous contributions to this D1090 sand dam project in 2017, for which we are very grateful. Our funding contribution of c. £5000.00 was doubled by the "Big Give" in December 1917 and was augmented by Chertsey RC and Kenilworth RC. The dam was completed in March 2018 and is now full of water as you can see from the photos. (Clubs mentioned on the plaques have contributed £1000.00 or more.) Sand is building up below the water level as the community are now able to get clean, filtered, and drinkable water from the water-pump. As you are aware this is just the beginning of the project and already, the impacts of this project are beginning to be felt by the local community as described below.
