Baraka Farm and Lewa Children's Home in Eldoret, Kenya have long been a tremendous success story. They have added another chapter to this success over the last year and a half, by adding a very large water reservoir, storage tanks and a sand filter to their farm.
The Lewa Children's Home Facebook page notes that there were five months with no rain, but they were able to grow plenty of vegetables the entire time, due to the rainwater that they were able to harvest over the past year. Phyllis Keino and Jos Creemers, and their many helpers continue to do a tremendous job. Look for Lewa Children's home, and Jos Creemers ''In search of more water'' alum for photos of construction of the dam and reservoir.
Their success is a tremendous inspiration, and something that groups all over Africa should look at as an example, and try to repeat.
