Water project
In the path of future self-sustaining Watoto Wenye Nguvu I.O.C has invested in water project where we have pumped water from the Thika River to our water towers reservoirs where it supplied to Kusitawi village and nearby members of community for domestic use and farming. Water is also filtered using a state of the art machine called sky hydrants machine which was donated by Siemens of Germany through pure flow water solutions. This purified water is sold for human consumption purposes only and it is used in Kusitawi village and the community around.

Tailoring projects
Every year since the founding of WWN I.O.C we have been supporting our sponsored children with school uniform and this prompted us to open a tailoring shop at Kusitawi village. This opened doors for orders from neighboring schools because of our quality work from our seam mistress and her team. We have been producing hand bags for local and foreign market and back packs for school going children. The tailoring shop has also served as an internship and training of our children who have the interest in career of tailoring and dressmaking.
How you can help
- Donate more sewing machines
- Buying bags from the project made with the design of your choice
- Marketing the bags on behalf of the program
