Lake Victoria is the
largest lake in Africa, the source of the River Nile, and the main
fresh water supply of 10’s of millions of people, is under
severe environmental pressures. For this reason Sandwatch is
pleased to expand the project into the field of fresh water
ecology.
Hello Everyone.
We at Kisumu Day High school in Kenya are happy to have been
accepted into the Sandwatch family. We began an Environment and
Conservation club after seeing the environmental degradation of
Lake Victoria.

The Lake Victoria clean up is our
pet project where we are sensitizing the youth and the general
public to become environmentally aware by producing less waste
through practicing the credo of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Buy
products that are; less toxic, contain less packaging and are in
reusable containers. Maintain and repair products rather than
throwing them out on the Lake Shores,
When we read the Sandwatch manual, aims and objectives, we knew
at once that joining it would link us to schools, teachers, and
students who are like minded with us. Sandwatch will also
provide us with the opportunity to share our data, observations,
photos and ideas with other Sandwatchers.
The Sandwatch Project is now our window to the
environmental world. We shall keep all of you updated through
the official Sandwatch website of our concerns and thoughts of
keeping the beaches of Lake Victoria clean and safe. We are now
your latest Sandwatch family.
