About Project saint john Nepomucene

The water shortage in the village of Nyeri Kenya leaves women and children walking miles each day to access clean water, sometimes spending a third of their day obtaining water. Farmlands are difficult or impossible to irrigate. The inhabitants of Nyeri are exposed to great health risks as the water crisis escalates. There have been increasing cases of typhoid fever, cholera, and diarrhea caused by unclean water.

Nyeri is the home village of our dear friend and priest, Father Charles Githinji, who has faithfully served the diocese of Dallas, Texas for the last six years. We consider him family. In honor of Father Charles and in thanksgiving for his priestly ministry, we established ‘Project: Saint John Nepomucene’ in March of 2019 to assist the village of Nyeri, Kenya. Project Saint John is dedicated to the patron saint of water, Saint John Nepomucene.

Over the summer, we partnered with MISSIO and raised enough money to drill a borehole in Nyeri and establish a sustainable water reservoir. With this new reservoir, the village will have an accessible and constant supply of fresh water.
