Nefret* is proof that someone can create opportunities. She is one of the Transformational Community Development (TCD) women of the village cluster. She learnt a lot in the TCD women’s group. The amount she needed to start her project was 2,000 pounds. She did not have any money, so she decided to borrow the required sum from someone.

Kiwanjani Village, Kenya

The villagers living in Kiwanjani Village have big challenges with regard to water. They go far to look for water which has been a problem for several of them. The villagers are moving from house to house to ask for water from the few who have tap water in their compound. Oftentimes, during the dry season, children fail to go to school because of the lack of water to wash their school uniforms.
