In the heart of Homa Bay, Kenya, lies the village of Karabondi, where life was once a daily struggle due to water scarcity. Contaminated water sources were all the community had, and the impact on their health and livelihoods was devastating.

However, everything changed when No Taps stepped in to bring a glimmer of hope. With their dedicated efforts, a water filtration project was implemented in Karabondi, providing clean drinking water for the first time.

Mama Akinyi, an elder in the village, recalls the hardships they faced before No Taps’ intervention. “Our children often fell sick from the dirty water. It was a constant worry for us,” she says with a sigh of relief.

With clean water now flowing from taps, the transformation was incredible. The positive effects rippled through the community, touching every aspect of their lives.
