February 2026 marked a truly phenomenal milestone for our charity: the restoration of safe, reliable water access to more than one million people across Kenya through our pump repair programmes. This achievement has been delivered through the repair and rehabilitation of handpumps in rural communities across southern Kenya, alongside the restoration of electric water pumps serving schools and health clinics. Each repaired pump represents not just infrastructure restored, but improved health, dignity, education, and opportunity for the communities that rely on it. At the heart of this success is the exceptional commitment of our team of nine highly skilled volunteer engineers, who work tirelessly across eight counties in Kenya. Their efforts are overseen by our UK Trustee, Eric McKinnon, whose leadership and technical oversight have been instrumental in scaling and sustaining this work. This milestone would not have been possible without the long-term support of our donors. In particular, we are deeply grateful to Eagle Foundation, who have supported our water programmes since 2018, alongside a number of other generous funders who share our commitment to lasting, practical impact. Restoring water to one million people is more than a number - it represents millions of hours saved, countless illnesses prevented, and stronger, more resilient communities. February 2026 stands as a powerful testament to what can be achieved through skilled volunteers, trusted partnerships, and sustained belief in long-term change. TWK will continue this valuable work.
