Feed The Children is a Christian, international, nonprofit relief organization with headquarters in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty, or natural disaster.

In Kenya, as in much of Africa, the lack of safe drinking water causes many severe problems including dehydration, starvation and disease. The daily chore of fetching water is no small task in rural Kenya, and young women often walk as far as ten miles to collect what water they can from a polluted, dirty, hand-dug well, full of parasites and bacteria. These primitive wells are also structurally dangerous and often collapse when they get deep enough.
