They often depend for their livelihood on others, such as children and grandchildren, who are often poor, themselves.<\/p>\n<p>In distressing cases, Watu Wangu offers help under the Wakisukuma Wazee programme. In English, this means Help for the Elderly.<\/p>\n<p>During the Corona period, the support of children and grandchildren fell away for many elderly people, threatening them to starve to death. Watu Wangu then set up the Msaada wa Chakula kwa Wazee (Food Aid for the Elderly) project under the program Wakisukuma Wazee. For about a year and a half, nearly 100 elderly people in the region were then visited weekly and helped with food and basic medical care.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, under the Wakisukuma Wazee program, the Msaada wa Matibabu kwa Wazee (Medical Aid for the Elderly) project is running, under which medical help is provided to, usually elderly, men for complaints caused by benign prostate enlargement. This covers not only initial examination and diagnosis, but also hospital admission, medication and surgical treatment, and after care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-16\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div id=\"row-medisch\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1703-16\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-16-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-16-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"24\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-16-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h1 align=\"left\">Medical Aid<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-17\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-17-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-17-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"25\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 15px; padding-top: 15px; padding-right: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lois-aid-with-childbirth-after-complications-20250731-at-the-hospital-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 8px; padding-top: 15px; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 8px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lois-aid-with-childbirth-after-complicaitons-20260130-met-haar-kindje-nu-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center; padding: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Esther-aid-with-high-blood-pressure-20260130-at-Muthale-Hospital-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1703-17-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-17-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"26\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-17-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Many poor people cannot afford medical aid, which means that they do not receive the medication or treatment they need to cure their sickness. Others need transportation to visit the doctor or the hospital. In many such cases Foundation Watu Wangu offers assistance<\/p>\n<p>Lois is a single mother of 3. She is very poor. When she was expecting her third child, she had planned to give birth with the help of family. Complications occurred, endangering both her and her baby's lives. However, she could not afford medical assistance. Watu Wangu had her admitted to the hospital, where she have birth. That was beginning of August of 2025. Meanwhile both Lois and her baby are back home and are doing well.<\/p>\n<p>Esther is an elderly lady. In September 2025 her husband died. She has 3 children, but they have all left the house and live far away, and they are not rich enough to take care of their mother. In other words, Esther is pretty much on her own. She spoke with someone of Watu Wangu about medical issues she had and that she couldn't afford to have those issues examined by a doctor. Watu Wangu took her to the hospital, where it turned out she had dangerously high blood pressure. She received medication and within a week her blood pressure was down to normal and the medical issues subsided. Watu Wangu will stay in touch with her and support her if necessary. Such medication is not expensive, but make a world of difference.<\/p>\n<p>Such situations occur on a regular basis. If possible, Watu Wangu will always help, either by bearing the costs of medical help and medication or through her excellent contact with many medical professionals and institutions in the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-18\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div id=\"row-water\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1703-18\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-18-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-18-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"27\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-18-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h1 align=\"left\">Water<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-19\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-19-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-19-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"28\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 15px; padding-top: 15px; padding-right: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8086-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 8px; padding-top: 15px; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 8px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8195-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center; padding: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Water-project-sep2012-04-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/waterproject30-300x225.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/>--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1703-19-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-19-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"29\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-19-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Water is of vital importance. That certainly needs no argument. This is of course most visible where water is scarce. That is the case in the dry area of Kitui West sub-county. Moreover, many people in this area are poor and therefore unable to buy water. They will often get their water from the river, if there is any in it, or from other surface water sources. That is very unhealthy due to a variety of bacteria en parasites in the water. Many people become ill from it.<\/p>\n<p>To help with this, Foundation Watu Wangu has constructed 2 boreholes in the region. A borehole is a drilled hole in the ground with a diameter of about 15 centimeters in which a pump is installed to pump the water up. The depth of a borehole depends of course on the depth at which the water is located. A hydro-geological survey is carried out in advance to determine where sufficient water is available and accessible; this is partly dependent on the nature of the above soil layers. Our boreholes are resp. 45 and 120 meters deep.<\/p>\n<p>One of the boreholes wat meant primarily for Watu Wangu Children's Centre, but additionally also to supply the local people with clean drinking water. Those who can afford it, will buy it at cost price; those who cannot afford it, will receive it at no cost or, in some cases, for a service in return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-20\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div id=\"row-voedselhulp\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1703-20\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-20-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-20-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"30\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-20-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h1 align=\"left\">Food Relief<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-21\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-21-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-21-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"31\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; padding: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=100% hight=100% src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_2098-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1703-21-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-21-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"32\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-21-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The population of Kenya is often poor.

As a result of increasing demand, prices of other food products will then also go up considerably.<\/p>\n<p>To counter the effects of these peaks, Foundation Watu Wangu has built a storage facility for maize and beans. In times of good harvests, maize and beans are bought and stored, so that it can be used in times of scarcity. This not only saves costs, but also offers some certainty about the availability of food in times of scarcity.<\/p>\n<p>The storage is set up for the benefit of Watu Wangu Children's Center, but it has already proved its worth to the poor local population, which is provided with food at a reasonable price in expensive times, and in some cases at no cost in the form of emergency food relief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-24\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div id=\"row-zaaigoed\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1703-24\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-24-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-24-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"36\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-24-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h1 align=\"left\">Seeds for Maize & Beans<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1703-25\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-1703-25-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-25-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"37\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; padding: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=100% hight=100% src=\"https:\/\/www.watuwangu.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_2041-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n <\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1703-25-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1703-25-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"38\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1703-25-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>In Kitui West sub-county people are poor and many of them laboriously engage in some form of agriculture and livestock farming, especially for their own use.

This complicated Stephen's work considerably.<\/p>\n<p>Because of his many good works for the community Foundation Watu Wangu, with financial support of the Foundation Sybren Jochems Looijenga Fund, helped rebuild his little church.

Many children took water that came from the river. The hygiene situation was really bad, because most days there wasn't enough water for washing hands after toilet visits and for cleaning the toilets.<\/p>\n<p>This was an untenable situation. Thanks to the help of Rotary Walcheren and a number of private sponsors, Foundation Watu Wangu renovated the toilet blocks, built a sink, placed and connected a water tank, and repaired the drain. Through the collection of rainwater and the supply of water from a borehole, the school now has sufficient pure water for their daily needs.
