Each day in the United States, one person uses about 575 liters of water. In Japan, one person uses about 374 liters of water. But in Kenya, one person uses only about 20.

    Tomoyuki Tsutsui and Keitaro Kakoi are Japanese university students who raised(筹集) money online to help people in Kenya have clean water. Tsutsui lives in Kisumu in west Kenya. It is the third largest city in Kenya. Tsutsui lives in a house without running water, also called tap water. He knows how difficult it is to live with limited water. Most people cannot have clean water easily because there is no tap water in their house. So, it’s hard for them to get water. They carry the tank of 20 liters three times in a week. It is very heavy.

    Some residents cannot go to northern Kisumu for water because it is too far away. In that area,  It takes several hours to take water from the nearest place each day. People who cannot carry water must use rainwater or buy it from the shop.   

    Tsutsui and Kakoi have raised a lot of money to solve these problems. The company is working on laying a water pipe from northern Kisumu. When it is finished, the residents of southern Kisumu will no longer have to travel a long way to get water.
