About the project
In rural Kenya, only 51.8% of the total population has basic services of drinking water in 2020 and none has safely managed drinking water services. 12.5% of the population relies on unimproved sources while 24.1% are drinking water directly from a river, dam, lake, pond, stream, canal or irrigation canal.
In the villages on Lake Victoria in Siaya County, 80% of the communities do not have access to water because of lack of water infrastructure.
The project developer has partnered with a certified local EPC contractor for the construction of the project using new system design and identification of suitable sites for the water kiosks with smart meters to track consumption.
