WHOlives has been working with police in Kuria, which is in southwest Kenya, to end child marriages and female genital mutilation (FGM). We asked Patrick Njoroge, the police commander for Kuria East, about how the horrible practice of FGM is impacting families. He told us what he’s seeing and how WHOlives is helping by creating safe spaces and donating fuel for police cars so that officers can investigate more cases.
A team in Liberia recently reached a major milestone – 100 wells! “Most of our wells are located far from power, so we rely on the ingenuity of the Village Drill to dig wells deep into the ground,” the group says.
WHOlives received the top prize in the international contest for water solutions – a cash award and recognition as “THE BEST.” Our human-powered Village Drill has provided access to clean water to more than 12 million people.
