About this project

The main objective of the “Safe Water Supply in Kilifi County” VPA is to rehabilitate broken, non-functioning boreholes, install new solar-powered pumps, solarise boreholes, and conduct ongoing maintenance and repair for the project’s lifetime to eliminate the need for long-distance travel to collect water from unsafe natural sources. The VPA will cut down emissions and also improve the overall quality of life, health, and socio-economic status of the beneficiaries in the water-stressed region of Kenya.
