FOTO distributes Waterguard in Nyakach

 Friends of the Old distributed 4,800 bottles of Waterguard in Nyakach in January. Thanks to the generous funding of International Water and Health Alliance (IWHA) and individual donors, four hundred bottles were distributed in each of the twelve locations.
Something to smile about

Waterguard, a water treatment chemical that eliminates E.coli and makes water safe for drinking, is distributed every month. This has reduced incidences of typhoid, cholera and other waterborne diseases.

Something to take home
