With hearts full of appreciation, we extend our deepest gratitude to you for walking faithfully alongside The NGAO Foundation for several years in support of our WASH Program, because of your compassion, trust, and unwavering dedication, communities that once faced daily uncertainty in accessing clean water are now witnessing real, life-changing transformation.

Introduction
The Ngao Foundation’s WASH Program continues to lead efforts in advancing public health and sustainable development by expanding access to clean and safe drinking water for communities across Kenya.
Through structured, community-driven initiatives, we empower children, youth, and women with the skills, resources, and knowledge needed to live healthier, more dignified lives.
This quarter reflects meaningful progress toward achieving long-term water security in Oloishorua and its surrounding communities.
Key Activities
1. Oloishorua Borehole Drilling Project
What was once a pressing community need is now steadily becoming a life-changing reality. The successful drilling of the borehole marks a major milestone toward ensuring sustainable water access for children, families, livestock, and local institutions, including schools.
The availability of sufficient water presents transformative potential — not only for current residents but also for future generations.
Phase One has been successfully initiated. However, to ensure full functionality and long-term sustainability, we are mobilizing support to complete the following:
These next steps are critical in transitioning from water access to a reliable and sustainable supply of clean, safe water.
2. Water Filtration Machine Maintenance
Routine monitoring of our water filtration system identified discoloration in cartridge filters, which had begun turning greenish, an indicator that replacement was necessary.
A qualified water technician promptly replaced the filters to maintain high water quality standards. This proactive maintenance ensures continued access to safe drinking water and prevents potential health risks associated with compromised filtration systems.
3. Water Sample Analysis
Water samples collected from the Oloishorua borehole underwent comprehensive laboratory testing. We are pleased to report that the results were very positive.
The water passed several key quality parameters that typically pose risks to human health, reinforcing the viability of the borehole as a sustainable and safe water source for the community.
4. Community Engagement at Osupuko Primary School
The Foundation conducted an introductory session at the school to present:
This engagement strengthened our relationship with school leadership and laid the groundwork for collaborative implementation of future WASH and community empowerment programs.
What’s Next
Formation of the WASH Committee
To enhance sustainability, accountability, and community ownership, we are establishing a local WASH Committee.
The committee will:
This marks a significant step toward long-term sustainability, transparency, and community-led impact.
Conclusion
This quarter reflects meaningful progress in expanding access to clean water and strengthening community systems in Oloishorua. From borehole development and water quality assurance to school engagement and governance planning, the Ngao Foundation remains committed to delivering sustainable WASH solutions that improve health, dignity, and economic opportunity.
