In Oyugis Kenya, women and children use an enormous amount of time - TopicsExpress



          

In Oyugis Kenya, women and children use an enormous amount of time and strength to obtain water that is still likely to make them sick. Even though it is often boiled or chlorinated before drinking, chronic gastrointestinal problems, typhoid fever, and parasitic infections are all common results of the use of non-potable surface water for these children and their families. In response to this quiet crisis, ten family-owned wineries in Sonoma County, California decided to partner with Global Partners to “turn wine into water.” Through the Vineyards to Villages (V2V) initiative, half of the sales price of select V2V wines at participating wineries goes directly to funding WASH projects at rural Kenyan schools with little to no water infrastructure. Participating wineries include Christopher Creek Winery, De La Montanya Winery, Deux Amis Winery, Dom Whitney Wines, Fritz Underground Winery, Hawley Winery, Merriam Winery, Viszlay Vineyards, and Williamson Wines. You can purchase V2V wines by visiting winery tasting rooms or asking for V2V wines directly via phone or e-mail. You can also order wines at gpfd.org/v2v-wines/. These wines are perfect for the Thanksgiving table or as gifts for the holiday season!
