The initiative, executed under the Water for Humanity Program of WCH and aligned with the organization’s Ending Poverty/Food and Water Advocacy, marks a vital development for the communities of Mangani and Thonoa.
The inauguration was hosted by Honorable Gideon Mulyungi, MP of Mwingi, and supported by Hon. Kennedy Musyoka, MP of Eastern Africa, alongside Ms. Belynn Lam, CEO of Lam Global. The project was meticulously coordinated on the ground by Mr. Benjamin Musunza, the WCH Country Director for Kenya.
In a display of collaborative governance, MP Dr. Irene Kasalu generously donated a water tank to support the Mangani water well infrastructure.
"Water is the foundation of life and dignity," said HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura. "By installing these solar-powered wells, we are not just providing a resource; we are empowering the families of Mangani and Thonoa to build a sustainable future. Seeing the joy in the community, especially when they bestowed upon me the name 'Syukimanzi'—meaning 'the one who brings progress to the people'—affirms that our mission to end poverty is truly reaching the hearts of the locals."
Coinciding with the water infrastructure inauguration, WCH launched its renowned Global Santa Program in the region. The festivities provided meals to over 3,000 people across both locations. The massive humanitarian relief effort included the distribution of over 2 million goodies and essential items to local residents. To further assist the families, Hon. Gideon Mulyungi distributed cash grants during the event.
Hon. Gideon Mulyungi expressed his gratitude for the international support: "The people of Mwingi are deeply moved by the generosity of Queen Mariam and We Care for Humanity. These wells solve a critical challenge for our constituency, and the Global Santa program brought a joy to our children that we will never forget."
Hon. Kennedy Musyoka added, "This partnership serves as a model for how global organizations and local leadership can collaborate. We look forward to continuing this work to ensure water security and prosperity for Eastern Africa."
