InteleTravel agents give helping hand to Kenya school children
InteleTravel travel agents’ goodwill is being put to use in Kenya to assist school children.
Donations made by advisors at last year’s InteleTravel conference in Belfast have been matched by InteleTravel head office.
Working through Just A Drop, the project has funded sustainable facilities enabling school children in Kenya to access clean water.
Just A Drop constructed a rainwater harvesting tank and handwashing stations at Kavuvwani Primary School in Kitui county, Kenya.
Around 315 children and their teachers now have access to clean drinking water, supported by water sanitation and hygiene training.
There is also a programme of soap making.
Menstrual health and hygiene are taught to both boys and girls and the children are taught how to make reusable sanitary pads. These activities have helped reduce absence from school.
Previously, children had to bring to school water from a nearby river that was dirty and unsuitable for drinking.
This led l to children often being sick or absent from school.
Fetching water was also unsafe due to roaming wild animals.
“In addition to safe drinking, the water will help other elements we tend to forget, like planting trees – all leading to an improved learning environment,” said InteleTravel UK and Ireland MD, Tricia Handley-Hughes.
“I’m proud that our advisors recognised the importance of supporting such an important cause.”
