Testimonials

Here are some of the testaments to the profound impact we have had on the lives of individuals and communities.

I used to get rained on especially at night in my one roomed grass thatched house making it hard for my family to sleep. We used to cook from the same house. I ended up developing chest problems due to smoke inhalation. Thanks to UKR, we now have a new house, with a separate kitchen and washroom. We live in dignity

Everlyn UKR Beneficiary

We used to boil water before drinking. At times we apply water purifiers to drinking water which are very costly. This water filter is going to be a game changer and help me have clean and safe water for consumption and domestic use. Thank you so much, UKR

Maureen UKR Beneficiary

I used to practice horticulture in an amateur way but when I was enrolled in the UKR Rotary Global Grant project, I changed my way of doing agriculture. I am proud they have taught me very well how to prepare organic manure. I have also learned how to properly distribute vegetables in my farm and plan my farm very well.

Violet UKR Beneficiary

Much thanks and appreciation to UKR for the support they have accorded me from primary education to tertiary education. My journey has always been fuelled by their continued support. I would wish them to continue with the same spirit in realization of the dreams, visions, and potentials of so many students who are disadvantaged in our society.

Kosgey UKR Beneficiary

The families have improved their saving culture thanks to my coaching visits. They have been able to improve their lifestyle by buying household items from their savings.
