Right now, in southern Kenya, there’s a community of 5,763 people—moms, dads, children—facing a struggle we often take for granted: finding clean, safe water. ?? Many of these families rely on farming or livestock, but without reliable water, their daily lives are filled with constant challenges. For one, the women and children spend hours walking for water—time they could be using to go to school, grow their businesses, or just with their loved ones. But today, on #GivingTuesday, your generosity can change everything for them: for their time, health, and prosperity. ?? Every dollar counts in creating a future where they can thrive with #CleanWater. Take action now at withmyown2hands.org/donate
