Our Services Include:WATOTO WATER RUN 2010 - A GREAT SUCCESS!
May 22nd marked The Second Annual Watoto 10K Road Race, hosted by ERace Poverty in Ilula, Kenya! This year’s race channeled the energy of nearly 100 young Kenyan runners into a clean water well for the children’s home and training center operated by Empowering Lives International (ELI).
In addition to creating free local access to safe drinking water, the well will irrigate family gardens and help propagate tree seedlings sold to communities in areas of Kenya experiencing severe deforestation. In addition, the well will save up to $3,000 per year in food costs and generate up to $12,500 per year from seedling revenue. This increased revenue for the children’s home and school will move the people of ELI Kenya a big step closer toward a self-sustainable community.
