As the holiday season arrived hand in hand with the long rains, many families prepared for celebration and rest. For KEWOTA members, however, this season became more than just a break. It became a time of investment, preparation, and long-term security.
Through KEWOTA’s Mwalimu na Tank Project, members across the country transformed the rainy season into a productive opportunity, securing water and food storage solutions that will serve their families for years to come.
In Siaya County, KEWOTA members took advantage of the rains by purchasing water tanks and grain silos through the project. With reliable rainfall, these tanks are now harvesting thousands of litres of clean water, reducing dependency on unreliable water sources and cutting daily household costs. The grain silos, on the other hand, are already proving invaluable, protecting harvested maize and grains from pests, moisture, and post-harvest losses. What would have been seasonal income is now safely stored food, guaranteeing household food security well beyond the holidays.
Meanwhile in Homa Bay County, one KEWOTA member invested in a 5,000-litre water tank through the Mwalimu na Tank Project. During this rainy season, the tank filled quickly, ensuring a steady water supply for domestic use, small-scale farming, and livestock. The impact is immediate: less time spent fetching water, lower water expenses, and more time and energy directed towards family, farming, and income-generating activities.
This is the power of the Mwalimu na Tank Project. It helps teachers turn ordinary seasons into extraordinary outcomes. By offering affordable, structured access to tanks and silos, KEWOTA enables members to:
- Harvest and store rainwater efficiently
- Improve household hygiene and health
- Reduce food wastage through safe grain storage
- Strengthen food security and financial stability
- Invest once and benefit for many years
For KEWOTA members, the holidays were not just about celebration; they were about building resilience. The rains were not wasted. They were captured, stored, and converted into lasting value.
The Mwalimu na Tank Project continues to stand as a practical example of how KEWOTA supports teachers beyond the classroom, empowering them to plan, invest, and thrive.
This rainy season, let your roof work for you.
Join the Mwalimu na Tank Project and turn rain into security, savings, and sustainability.
