So far we have raised $3700 towards our goal, won't you please consider donating today? The need for drinking water is critical! The 25-member team that manage the Elephant Aware Conservation Project in southern Kenya has lived and worked in a tented camp without a source of running water for the past 15 years. Every 2-3 days, one team member travels to a spring to fill jugs with enough water to support their needs for drinking, cooking, showering, cleaning, etc. Due to the ever-increasing dry conditions of this area of the Mara, this manner of delivering water to the camp is coming to an end. It is becoming extremely difficult to access groundwater during dry seasons, and the camp’s rainwater catchment tanks are often empty.

A recent hydrologist’s study has shown that a nearby aquifer will most likely provide a consistent source of clean water year-round. It is now possible to access this aquifer and pipe and pump water that will meet the team’s needs and the needs of the wildlife in the area. Any overflow of water would be returned to the spring to be used by wildlife.

The estimate to build this project is $5,000-6,000. Can you help? Every dollar you donate will be set aside for this project.

We, the U.S.-based nonprofit supporting the efforts of the Elephant Aware Team in Kenya, ask for your support for their important mission. Elephant Aware Masai Mara is doing amazing work, and they are totally dedicated to preserving the wildlife and wildlands of this area of Africa.
