The Irish
Fairies volunteering with fws finished their base-line testing this week. Visiting
77 houses (sheltering around 530 people) in Kesho Leo’s vicinity, the fairies
found just a few surprising answers to their consensus-style questionnaire around
health, education, and environment… Two neighbours use solar power, one
harvests rainwater, many don’t sleep on beds, but on cushions on the floor,
very few have reached education levels beyond primary, most eat three meals a
day but can’t afford fruit, vegetables or meat, morning meals often consist of
tea and milk, all used outdoor pit latrines, many suffered from
short-sightedness without having glasses, many children suffered from
infections for years (as opposed to a few days), several spoke no English or Swahili,
the national language, (but Maasai). The Fairies will compile a report which
will be available on the fws website in a few weeks.
