Meet the African ‘Water Man’ Who Delivers Truckloads of Water to Thirsty Animals Daily


The effects of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystems are being felt across the world. Since June 2018, the Tsavo West National Park in Kenya has been suffering from a severe drought. The many species of animals there would have perished if not for the kindness of one man.

Patrick Kilonzo Mwalua, a pea farmer, is keeping the animals alive by delivering thousands of liters of water to them every day.

“It was in June last year when visiting the Tsavo that I noticed that the waterholes were dry and animals were sitting around them looking very desperate,” Mwalua told Nairobi Wire.

“There is completely no water, so the animals are depending on humans,” Mwalua told The Dodo. “If we don’t help them, they will die.”
