Water Tank Funding

GlobalEyes is looking to raise funds to supply our friends at the Childrens Rescue Mission, Kenya with a new water tank, which will help provide them with a water source through the year.

From an email from Tobias:

“The heavy rains have started already – since 15th this month and may continue to about 10th June. The tank we proposed for CRM is 6000 litres costing about Kshs. 35,000 together with the accessories. However if funds shall be limiting we can go for 3000 litres which costs Kshs. 21,700 together with accessories, but the storage will still not last long.”

35,000 Kshs is about $512 USD.

Here is a picture of the water tank that we funded at that facility a year ago. Its capacity is not large enough to last the whole year, so we’d like to add another one.

If you donate, we’ll to send you pictures of the new tank when it is installed.

Thanks – I’m excited that we’re getting donations this way. I’m looking forward to sending everyone an email with pictures of the new tank. One of our board members will be visiting Kisumu in the next few months and we’ll be able to get them a better camera, possibly with video features so we can be as transparent as possible about this.


Thanks again for your donation.

Pledgie has a feature called “follow-ups” which is available once the campaign is completed. Follow-ups allow you to post the results of how the donations were used. This would a perfect way to share photos of the water tank.

Thanks! I’m glad we were able to do it a bit early, plus we learned a bit about raising funds this way. We’ll try to post our next one soon. We’re in the process of wiring the money now and getting them a better camera, so I hope to do the “follow up” stuff soon.


Thanks again!

I just updated this with the report from Tobias about their need for a new water tank, and pictures of them purchasing and installing it.


Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

Thanks – we’ve started another campaign, which we’ll do the same type of thing for here if you’d like to contribute to that one as well.
