New Ways Provide access to clean water via bore holes
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Rain in Turkana, Northen Kenya, is a rare event and thus the local people often lack access to a clean water source. Supporting the construction of water infrastructure such as a borehole provides communities with water day to day. Boreholes are sunk deep into the ground to reach the water table and are able to supply water for the local people many of whom are semi-nomadic, and the livestock that they rely on, throughout the year. This creates a more sustainable lifestyle for communities.
