What's Happening

In Kenya, it’s not uncommon for individuals to depend on surface water, shallow wells, and/or handpumps to provide water. Not only can these sources be unreliable, but they are also time-consuming and have safety concerns. Oftentimes, children are the ones sent to retrieve water, when they should be in school.

Working with Fairoils in the doTERRA Tea Tree and Lemon Eucalyptus sourcing area in Kenya, doTERRA Healing Hands was able to provide a reliable source of drinking water to the Mwamose Primary School. Funded by the doTERRA Europe Market, this reverse osmosis system provides desalinated water to 1,250 school children. Additionally, community members also have access to the water source, providing much-needed safe drinking water.
