Our baby house is on the municipal water system. By definition, that is obviously related to a branch of government, which in turn, by definition, in Kenya means that it will have issues. Our house is only equipped with one reserve water tank. When water goes out, it does not take long to deplete our tank. We do a LOT of laundry! This is something we inquired about prior to choosing this location, but considering all factors, it was still the best place for us.
So, the pictures below are a common sight at my house. My personal residence is equipped with a large reserve back up tank and a pump to keep it full. The groundskeeper at the baby house loads up all our jericans (water basins, cans, tanks, etc) into a tuk-tuk (small public transport) and brings them to my house to fill them.
(Julia & Judah think that playing in the tuk-tuk is quite a treat.)
We hope to have a large reserve tank and pump installed at the baby house. That would be a great asset and would allow us to have sufficient water! If you would like to contribute towards that, you can go to our website and donate online or CLICK HERE to go directly to the "Network for Good" link. Designate - "water project 2010"
