New Well Completed at Lance’s Deaf Orphans in Kenya

Fresh Water Brings New Life to Lance’s Deaf Orphans in Kenya

Water is essential for life, but access to fresh, clean water isn’t always possible. For years, providing water for the children at Lance’s Deaf Orphans (LDO) was a significant challenge—especially during drought seasons. Teachers, staff, and children had to carry water by hand over half a mile for drinking, cooking, and washing.

Thanks to the generous prayer and financial support from New Life Fellowship Church in Topeka, Indiana, and Ball Green Assembly of God Church in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, this struggle has come to an end. Today, LDO has its very own well, complete with a water pump, elevated storage tanks, and a water tower.

A Monumental Milestone for LDO: The $45,000 Well Project

This life-changing project was made possible by the dedication of both churches and countless generous individuals. The total cost of $45,000 covered essential expenses, including:

• $2,500: Survey work
• $350: Drilling authorization from the Water Resources Management Authority
• $500: Environmental authorization from the National Environmental Management Authority
• $17,000: Drilling a 200-meter borehole, casing, and gravel pack
• $25,000: Equipping the borehole with a pump, solar panels, a 20-foot-high steel water tower, and two 10,000-liter storage tanks

Mission Team Witnesses Joyous Milestone

In June, representatives from both churches traveled to Kenya as part of a mission team to visit LDO. They were present for two extraordinary moments: the installation of the pump and the joyful sight of water flowing from the pipes for the very first time. This fortuitous timing allowed them to share the success of the well project firsthand with their home congregations.

A Lasting Impact for Deaf Children in Kenya

Thanks to this generous support, 28 Deaf children at LDO, along with teachers and staff, now have access to fresh, clean water for years to come. This gift has transformed their daily lives, improving health and well-being while freeing up valuable time for learning and development.

“The work we do at Deaf Child Hope goes beyond teaching Deaf children to communicate. Meeting their basic needs is equally important. Thanks to our incredible supporters, we can ensure that these children thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
