The Samburu Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide access to clean water and to continue to support well communities with initiatives that promote health, education, women’s empowerment and general well-being.
TSP has drilled over 145 wells in Samburu, providing clean water to many. They have also established the Samburu Sisters program to further assist women and girls in TSP well communities.
Through educational workshops, women learn about HIV/AIDS, the importance of educating their children, the harmful effects of FGM and child marriage, conflict resolution and women’s empowerment.
Kapa Oil looks forward to fostering a purposeful partnership with The Samburu project to improve the lives of local communities and play our role in reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals specifically on SDG.
