About this project

The goal of the projects is to provide consistent access to safe drinking water by achieving the following objectives: (1) increasing the runtime of the pumps operating as part of the projects and (2) providing water treatment to address microbiological contamination where present. The project aims to address the challenges of water security and climate change and will provide a wide range of social, economic, and environmental benefits for families and communities, including: Health - Improve water quality for drinking and water access for drinking, sanitation and hygiene - Reduce the incidence of smoke and exposure to particulate matter Economic - Employment and job creation - Energy savings Social - Increase clean water availability for communities in Kenya - Reduce time spent walking to and/or waiting for access to water Environmental - Reduce consumption of firewood, reducing the emission of smoke and pollution - Support for the conservation of trees and biodiversity
