Water Supply

'Water is Life.'

This theme was the driving force behind the piped water supply project which was implemented in 2012. It was one the initiatives which formed the inspiration for the community to affiliate themselves into Kar Community Based Organization. Trenches were being dug and pipes were brought by the Government of Kenya (GoK) to supply clean drinking water to schools and houses in the area.

Education

Kar CBO encourages and improves (in)formal education amongst the youth and the community at large.

Kar CBO has organised several cultural trips for primary schools to places such as Simbi Nyaima, Lake Victoria and Bala Hotsprings; encouraging the pupils 'to be student of their place'.

Kar CBO invites health workers from Matata (Hospital) to give youth from the community a workshop on the topic of HIV/AIDS.

Community Centre

Kar CBO improves livelihood.

Kar CBO encourages playgrounds, games and creative activities for the children. The Community Centre's activities form a direct link and a source of inspiration and motivation to the Kar CBO activities. The children learn in an informal way to participate, appreciate, contribute and gain insight into their possible (future) involvement in the community.
