About this organization
Mission
The Samburu Project (TSP) was founded on the promise of delivering access to clean water. Along the way, we discovered that water does so much more than we imagined. With clean water, families grow their own food, girls go to school and women empower themselves through small businesses. The Samburu are a pastoral, nomadic tribal community numbering over 300,000 people. Their land, 8,000 sq. miles, is remote, arid, beautiful and chronically drought-stricken. Living according to their tribal traditions, women and girls walk up to 12 miles a day attempting to procure water from any open, source. Simply stated, the lack of clean drinking water affects every aspect of life for the Samburu people and keeps them in a life of poverty.
About
The Samburu Project provides clean safe drinking water to people in Samburu, Kenya, by drilling wells in this region. Also, The Samburu Project completed a full scale irrigation system in several of the communities. Since its inception in 2005, the project has drilled 100 wells, bringing clean, safe drinking water to over 100,000 people. In 2018, The Samburu Project constructed an additional classroom to expand the capacity of the school. The Samburu Project also conducted several women's empowerment workshops emphasizing the importance of health and education.
