LifeStraw Give Back Campaign, 2025
This year, LifeStraw chose to focus their support in Homa Bay County, Kenya. This partnership with Replenish added 238 schools to the 195 schools currently being served in this area. What a blessing it was to be a part of the training and distribution with the Homa Bay Team and LifeStraw volunteers from around the world!
Each team spent the week traveling to 3 schools per day delivering a total of 990 LifeStraw Community filters to 238 schools on the priority lists developed through the Homa Bay LifeStraw team and the Ministry of Education team! Each visit created special memories as the students greeted us with songs and poems, and as we provided training, we were able to bond with the students and teachers through song and dance as well as playing games! Our Replenish team was also able to visit some of the schools already included in our ongoing Lifetime LifeStraw program with the Nairobi Replenish LifeStraw team! Through our work together, we are reminded of the blessing it is to serve God by supporting health and life through the gift of clean water as we not only realize the impact of the week, but also understand the impact for years to come as we shared God's love by providing this sustainable resource!
As we reflect on the past, present, and plan for the future, we look at the many opportunities we have to implement our three-fold mission: serving God by sharing His love, providing clean water by providing purification resources, and educating the community through outreach events. As we celebrate our accomplishments, we thank those of you who choose to be a part of our mission, we look forward to the work ahead, and we give God the glory for His extraordinary work through Replenish as He continues to guide and bless our mission!
