Hands On: A big thank you from Philip

2015 is in full swing and so are the people of Kitui.

Everyone is hard at work on all aspects of the project – terracing, tree-planting, sand dams, check dams and preparing for work on the main Musosya dam.

Philip, the project coordinator for Hands On Kitui is pleased to say he’s back at work after a bad car accident. He’s sent a video to say thank you to everyone who sent cards and well wishes. If you want to send Philip a message, just let us know in the comments below!

Progress and project highlights this month

Tree planting is an ongoing part of the Hands On project — Hundreds more trees are being prepared for planting. The ones already planted are growing well.

The terracing work is hard but is crucial to the success of the project — A further 360m of terracing has been constructed. That takes our total up to over 1,400m.

Project members at the Musosya dam — Surveying and design of the main Musosya dam is complete. We hope to hear about the next steps soon.

Did you know?

Trees have to be planted around all the dams to protect the water from being evaporated by the hot sun.

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.
