In Mutionjori-Kianjai Village, over 1,500 residents across 200+ households rely on borehole water that is salty and unsafe for drinking, forcing 40% of families to spend money on expensive bottled water, with no existing refill station in the area to provide a safe and affordable alternative. The project establishes a community-managed water refill station with a UV filtration system (150L/h) capable of providing at least 500 liters of clean water daily, a trained local management committee, and operates as a sustainable social enterprise. Benefits include reducing household water costs from 300 KES to 200 KES per 20-liter jerrican (30% savings), improved household health through access to safe drinking water, creation of 2 local jobs, strengthened community ownership, and a profit reinvestment model that will enable business expansion within 5 months of operation.
