Project Year 2026

Details

Project Budget:
KES195,959

Project Budget (USD):
$1,530

Project Overview

In Kasovi and neighboring villages, only 21.2% of households have access to basic drinking water. From June to December residents face severe water shortages that force them to travel up to 7km, pay KES30 per jerrycan, and rely on contaminated sources. This project will construct a shallow well equipped with a solar-powered pump and a 10,000-liter elevated tank to deliver reliable, clean water year-round. The initiative will serve 180–300 households, reduce walking distances, improve health, support small-scale farming, and be sustained by a community-management fee of KES5 per jerrycan.
