Yesterday was a great day for the Kisharu community. They celebrated the opening of the first Kenya Assemblies of God church in their community. The community sits on top of Mt. Suswa, a dormant volcano in the Rift Valley. Kisharu is home to about 3000 people, all Masai. For the past two years we have been working with the community doing development work mostly focused on water solutions. The Mountain has many steam vents and we have been helping the community build steam harvesting systems that enable the people to get water from the steam vents. Some of the systems are now producing 1000 liters per day. Before this, water was gathered from seasonal water dams and water was fetched from the bottom of the mountain, a 2 hour walk from the village. It was a great day with lots of celebration and worship. More to come about the water systems in the next blog!
