The walk aims to raise awareness and funds to support the installation of a sustainable water system at Sasura Girls School in Marsabit County.
The institution currently relies on water delivered by trucks, a situation that has continued to affect hygiene, health, and learning conditions for more than 250 students.
The journey started in Nairobi and is expected to take about 18 days to complete. Each day, the trio walks long distances under harsh weather conditions, driven by the belief that access to clean water should not be a privilege but a basic right for every child.
According to information gathered by our platform, the school’s water challenges have forced students to ration water for drinking, bathing, and sanitation. At times, learning activities are disrupted as school management struggles to secure water supplies, especially during dry seasons.
By the 12th day of the journey, the walkers had covered over 330 kilometres and reached the Voi–Maungu area.

By the 12th day of the journey, the walkers had covered over 330 kilometres and reached the Voi–Maungu area.
With nearly one-third of the journey remaining, they remained focused and determined to complete the walk despite growing physical exhaustion.
One of the most challenging parts of the journey involved passing through sections near Tsavo National Park, an area known for wild animals, including lions and elephants. For safety, the group received support from wildlife rangers while walking through the region.
Beyond raising funds, the initiative also promotes discipline, physical fitness, and mental strength. The trio hopes their action will inspire Kenyans, especially young people, to take responsibility and actively participate in solving community problems instead of waiting for others to act.
The walk is guided by a message of commitment and sacrifice, showing that meaningful change often requires personal effort.

Supporters along the route have encouraged the team with food, water, prayers, and words of motivation, helping them stay strong during the long journey.
The initiative reflects a growing trend where ordinary Kenyans are using personal challenges to draw attention to social issues.

Similar efforts in the past have included long cycling journeys and endurance runs aimed at supporting education, health, and environmental causes.
In this case, the focus remains firmly on improving learning conditions for girls in underserved regions. Access to clean water is critical in ensuring good health, dignity, and school attendance, particularly for young girls.
As the team continues toward Mombasa, they are calling on well-wishers, organisations, and leaders to support the project by contributing resources and spreading the message.

The funds raised will go directly toward setting up a permanent water solution that will benefit the school for many years.
