The Oltorotua Clean Water and Sanitation Project Sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Leonardtown, Fredericktown, and Lexington Park, MD, & UUCF

2 Helping to Bring Fresh Water Wells and Sanitation to Oltorotua, Kenya Dig This Well!

3 The wonders of Kenya amaze!

4 From the wildlife...

5... to the people...

6... every day brings a new thrill to a visitor.

7 We often forget Kenya, a developing country, needs our help.

The 800 residents of the Maasai village of Oltorotua need our help!

9 Oltorotua village Oltorotua is just outside the remote Maasai Mara Game Reserve in the Great Rift Valley (Also spelled Masai Mara and called “the Mara” by locals)

Water is very difficult to find and is unsafe to drink.

No sanitary way to dispose of human wastewater is available. This threatens the environment and the health of the people.

Fetching water can be dangerous because of the presence of many large wild animals, including cats and African buffalo.

Because of the long distance, fetching water consumes much of the day of the women of Oltorotua.

14 Fetching water, a typical daily scene in Kenya

15 Filling the water containers for the walk home.

16 Taking the Water back to Oltorotua

17 Jackson Liaram is a junior elder of the village. He wants to help his people build a safe and reliable clean water supply.

18 Jackson graduated at top of his safari guide class and now works at the Siana Springs Camp. He is dedicated to protecting his people and the environment and wants to find a way to safely dispose of wastewater.

23 “Safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a human right essential to the full enjoyment of life and other human rights.” Declaration of the General Assembly, United Nations, 28 July 2010

Jackson and the residents of Oltorotua need our help! WE HAVE A PLAN!!!!!

With your help, we can make a difference by: Drilling 3 new boreholes (deep wells) adequate to supply the village’s needs. Helping the villagers construct 100 new sanitary latrines. Helping the villagers construct 100 new sanitary latrines.
