Announcements

February 10, 2010

Eleos Project is happy to announce the drilling of a new water well in Kenya. The new well is scheduled to start drilling the beginning of March 2010. This clean water project is part of our Never Thirst Again Clean Water Initiative for sub-Saharan Africa. Funding to make this project possible came from a partnership that includes CSI Ministries in Muncie, Indiana and Eleos Project in Centennial, Colorado.  Water for the World in Naorobi, Kenya has been contracted to do the drilling on this project.

The new well will be located at the new Brydges Centre, a new children's home and school just outside of Nairobi, Kenya in Kitengela. This new centre is located on six acres of land and will have over 120 children once all the construction is completed. The clean, safe water from the new water well will provide life-sustaining water that will keep these children healthy and reduce the number of absences from school due to water related illnesses.  

Eleos Project is honored to a part of this clean water project and sends a special thank you to all our donors who made this project possible.

Staff from Eleos Project in Centennial, Colorado will be traveling to Kenya in March to help oversee the drilling and completion of this clean water project.  Our staff will also repair a broken hand pump near Narok and will be visiting future clean water projects during this trip.

Please go to the Eleos Project blog at  http://eleosproject.wordpress.com for updates from the field about  this project.

Brydges Centre is an institution that takes care of vulnerable children in Kenya, particularly the orphaned, homeless and impoverished throughout Kenya. The Centre provides shelter, food and education to these children. The Centre has three branches, two in Ngong Hills about an hour south of Nairobi which provide boarding and support for needy children. The third branch of the Centre is located in Western Kenya in the district of Bungoma which houses and cares for the male youths that are taken into our programs.
