Orthodontist starts a ripple effect: brings clean water to all-girls school in Kenya

For schoolgirls in Cherangani, Kenya water is always on their minds. Many schoolgirls spend hours a week, if not daily, seeking out water for themselves, their families and their school. The tragedy is despite the enormous burden of time spent fetching the water; it is often dirty and dangerous for consumption. 

Furthermore, due to the amount of time spent seeking water, these girls forfeit time that could be spent studying, working or enjoying life as kids should.

Thanks to the generosity of Horsley Orthodontics, the girls at the school can now rest assured that they will have access to clean, safe water right at the school.  

After hearing about the need for water in these areas, Horsley Orthodontics was determined to find a way to help. Working with WHOlives and the Village Drill, Horsley Orthodontics donated the well that now services this school and community. As a result, hundreds of girls can now spend more time studying, playing and not worrying about illness associated with dirty, contaminated water.
