Ola Nagele Village, Kenya

It was the vision of GHNI to transform the community and make sense to many hopeless and desperate lives in Ola Nagele Village. In this village, there was no water, and people were walking long distances to search for water in the unbearable heat of sun. School children had to be absent from school to fetch water for their parents and life was not easy.

In his former life, Ali used to make a living from contraband.  Every day, his work and his life was at risk. Even when he was working, sometimes he would leave his family for more than a month.
