Animals Are Stranded In Drought With Nothing To Drink, So Man Drives Hours To Bring Them Water Daily
The wild
animals at Kenya’s Tsavo West National Park are dealing with a very severe drought
that has left them with no water source. If they don’t have water to drink,
they will obviously die. But one man is doing something amazing to prevent that
from happening.
Patrick
Kilonzo Mwalua drives a truck – which holds 3,000 gallons of fresh water – to
the elephants, buffalo, antelope and zebras that are in need of water. He rents
the trucks and delivers 12,000 liters of water at least four trips a week.

Whenever
the animals see his truck driving down the dirt road, they come running toward
him. He then fills the dry watering holes in the region, and drives for hours
every day to bring the water to the areas that need it most.

Mwalua is
a pea farmer in his local village but knew he had to do something to help after
seeing the way that the climate change has affected the land and animals.
Mwalua also runs a conservation project called Tsavo Volunteers, and visits
schools in the area to teach them about wildlife.
