Getting Hands On in Kitui: the importance of trees
Do you have a New Year’s resolution to do more DIY? The people of Kitui do! Their project is about so much more than sprucing up their home – it will make a huge difference to their lives. And it’s possible because of you, and the 1,500 other people who have been getting hands on. Thank you.
We hope you have received your second postal update along with your copy of our Side by Side magazine. If you’ve misplaced your letter, or haven’t recieved it, you can download the January update now.
Please keep Kitui in your prayers as the hard work continues.

Did you know?
Once the sand dams are built, they will last for 50 years without any maintenance needed.
About Hands On: Through our exciting project, the local community in Kitui are coming together to transform their environment and landscape so that it provides a sustainable supply of water.
This is an ambitious project, but thanks to you we expect great results in Kitui.
