The JNN Foundation constructed a fresh water well for St. Joseph's Academy in Keroka village, Kenya which serves over 600 students, most of whom are orphans. This has improved the quality of life for students and the surrounding community. The foundation seeks funding to continue similar projects to help areas affected by poverty and disease. It thanks two families that donated to drill the well, allowing students to focus on their studies instead of walking long distances to fetch water. The foundation's vision is to provide clean water, sanitation and reduce disease in impoverished Kenyan communities by drilling wells village by village.
2. • The JNN Foundation successfully coordinated the
construction of a fresh water well for St. Joseph’s
Academy, a school in Keroka village in Kenya that enrolls
over 600 children, most of whom are orphans.
• This effort has literally changed the quality of life for the
students as well as of the lives of the surrounding
community.
• JNN’s mission is to seek funding to help continue with
such progressive efforts, and attempt to restore hope for
areas devastated by poverty and AIDS.
• “Around 700,000 children die every year from diarrhea
caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation – that's
almost 2,000 children a day”. (Water Aid; 2012)
3. • The JNN Foundation appreciates the sincere support and
generosity of two families that made it possible to drill
the well for St. Joseph’s Academy in Keroka, Kenya.
• Mr. & Mrs. Klahn and Mr. & Mrs. Oakley visited Kenya in
2011 and they were moved with compassion at the
distance the students walked to fetch water for daily use.
• Upon their return to the US, the Klahns and Oakleys
committed donations to ensure construction of the well,
so that students focus on their studies and avoid
damaging their backs from heavy lifting.
• We are grateful for the support the Klahns and Oakleys
continue to provide for the Motherly Care Children's Home
with roof renovations. The Klahn’s together with other
donors are supporting the education of David, a full time
medical student in Kenya who had financial difficulties
that prevented him from attending college.
20. Providing Clean Drinking Water
The JNN Foundation’s vision is to help provide; clean water, improve sanitation,
and reduce waterborne diseases in impoverished communities in Kenya. Our
commitment to sink a water well one village at a time will help improve water
sanitation and hygiene, and reduce the daily long distance coverage taken by
women and kids to fetch water.
With your help, we can again duplicate the success of the 2013 water project. This
compassionate effort has enhanced the quality of life for 2,000 community
members in the Nyasore Academy Community in Kenya.
The economic and financial analyses has shown that development and poverty
reduction involves reliable water sources and water supply systems. The benefits
include improved health and quality of life, reduction of mortality rates and
incidences of waterborne diseases, and empowerment of vulnerable and
disenfranchised communities.
Give the gift that keeps on giving.
