Allsop pipes clean water to Kenyan village
A team from Allsop and a group of volunteers from St Paul’s Church in Ealing have recently returned from a trip to Kenya, where they helped install a clean water pipe in the Maasai village of Olorropil. The group cycled more than 100km across a challenging terrain of dirt roads and mountainous paths to fit the water pipe, which was funded by Allsop.
The new pipe will give several hundred people access to clean drinking water. Before the installation, the local women would have to walk up to 10km a day carrying 30 litres of water.
