Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA) has delivered the first of their water tanks in a programme to offer reliable and clean water to teachers nationwide.

Speaking in Bondo, the KEWOTA National Chairperson Modesta Akaki lauded the stakeholders for providing water reservoirs for working and retired teachers. She disclosed a big uptake of the programme since its launch two months ago. A beneficiary of the water tank programme, Susan Kunikina hailed the programme, saying that it will enable her soap and bleach-making business to prosper.

Teachers were encouraged to join the association with the chairperson Modesta Akaki stressing that they were in no way in competition with any of the Teacher’s unions.

The Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA) is a welfare organization that enhances the living standards of women in the teaching profession by providing avenues for professional, economic, and personal development.

The Kenya Women Teachers Association was first registered in 2007. KEWOTA was founded by women teachers who wanted a strategic community to bring together women working in the education sector, and deliberate on ways to address and advocate for their needs, specific to the female gender, and to provide an avenue for women teachers to grow professionally, economically and personally.
