HOW AMREF HELPED PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY

It has been in our community since ever. The AMREF organization has provided social amenities to our community. This was evidenced when they dug a bore hole after discovering that the Most fundamental amenity was water. Before they came we used to draw water from stream which was unsafe for drinking. We could not manage access to any source of water if it were not for rainy season, When my mum used to fill some jericans and put them safely for future drinking. The establishment of bore holes reduced water bone diseases which they found to have in place affecting people. Rather than that they went on and started door to door Medical services, which they used to treat those suffering from water bone diseases. After that they found out that the villagers were poor and could not afford to pay fee for secondary education. They decided to sponsor students who passed their K.C.P.E Exams successfully and proceeded with education. They went on and established health centers that provided medical services in the interior of our village. Nowadays in our village litracy level is high.
