Maji Safi Maisha Bora Project
Gold Standard · GS11544 · Kenya
About this project
The project “Maji Safi, Maisha Bora” implemented by OffgridSun and its partners aims at improving the livelihoods of about 50,000 people in Kenya living in Siaya County, on the Lake Victoria, by providing sufficient, affordable and clean drinking water to targeted communities in East and West Yimbo Wards. The project will rehabilitate an old water pipeline which is currently not functioning by connecting it to a solar system, replacing not functioning parts and extending the pipeline to unserved areas. The system will bring safe water to the population by installing smart drinking water kiosks in the area close to people’s houses. The project will foresee awareness campaigns for the population on WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and environment conservation to sensitize the population on best practices on water consumption and hygiene and environment protection.
