Location: Pangani district in Nairobi. Jacinta Ng'ang'a, 60 years old, lives in a one bedroom/1 bathroom apartment with her husband and two adult children. Her 3 other children have moved out. She is a business woman selling soaps, tissue paper and clothes in whole sale. She gets running water 3 days a week (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) so she "harvests water"/refills all her jerry cans to last the week. Her kitchen and bathroom are full of water buckets, bottles and jerry cans. She often stores enough water to last a few weeks because they may not have running water for two weeks straight. Sometimes she has to purchase water at 20 litres/50shillings. Today Jane Wanjiku Njuguna (15 years old) and Nicole Wanjiku Njuguna (3 years old) are visiting their guardian/grandmother at her home.
Better quality water

Anna and Joseph Gatheru's farm in the foothills of Mt. Kenya. They grow "food crops": beans, maize, vegetables. Joseph Gatheru was the first farmer in the area to have a water pan. Before the water pan, he could only grow and sell crops in the rainy season when everyone else could. So the price for his vegetables was very low. Now with the water pan they can grow and sell vegetables in the dry season and get a high price (cabbage, kale, courgette, beans, beetroot, potatoes, carrots, cucumber). Location: Kamahuri, Nyeri County.

Elena Kinyua, an innovative farmer in the foothills of Mt. Kenya (in the background). Grows carrots, tree tomatoes, cabbage, avacado and has livestock. She has got a water pan from NWF. She’s put a bag of manure in the water, so that it creates algae that feeds fish, and enriches the water she puts on her plants.
