Project Description Region: Africa Country: Kenya Location: North Laikipia Total Budget: $50,000 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene Reliable access to water is the most critical concern in North Lakipia, Kenya. To address this problem, the Sidai Livelihoods Women Group and the Puaata Self-Help Groups, based in Laikipia North, seek KES 6.1 million ($50,000) to implement a rainwater-harvesting project. The goal of this project is to provide an easily maintained and sustainable supply of clean, safe water to each household in the two communities of Olmunishoi and Il Polei. This initiative will provide 104 households with 3,000-liter water tanks and guttering systems. To ensure the project reaches the most underprivileged, the groups have established a "Social Equity Framework" in which beneficiaries contribute to a revolving fund to install corrugated iron sheets on thatched houses, ensuring everyone can harvest water effectively.
