As a result of donated funds, RainCatchers are now bringing clean water to four schools in remote regions of Western Kenya. With gratitude I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Mr. Shigeo Ohmori and Mr. Kokichi Nakata from the Youth Summit for the Environment — Kobe, Japan – and Mr. Haysbert for donating time, talent & resources to this cause.
Because of Mr. Ohmori’s, Mr. Nakata’s and Mr. Haysbert’s sponsorship of our rainwater harvesting projects in Africa, thousands of students are now benefiting from having their own source of clean drinking water for years to come. Thank you, Jack Rose
August, 2009 – Reporter Jarrod Holbrook and RainCatcher Fred Mango document the installation of rainwater harvesting systems on rural schools across Kenya.
In any situation, anywhere around the world, clean, safe drinking water is always at hand – once you have the right tools: 1 – a ‘Just Water’ Ceramic Drip filter . . . 2– two stackable buckets with lids . . . 3– a sharp knife or drill . . . 4 – and one tap. Three minute video:
The simplest way to catch, store and deliver clean drinking water is through with a RainCatchrer. Along with impact partner, Raincatcher.org, HUB has installed raincatchers in schools in Africa and also supports efforts to dig water wells.
Unregulated irrigation along the shores of Lake Victoria in Africa has drastically lowered the availability of clean water. Women and children become critically ill through lack of water or usage of dirty water.
