Project Background
• 1.2 million people in the Rift Valley region
around Nakuru lack access to safe, sufficient
water during the dry season
• Ground water is very high in fluoride so shallow wells are not an option
• The communities being served are very poor and live in the rural areas outside of Nakuru where there is no access to a municipal water supply
Water Sources are Distantand Contaminated

This lack of safe water has profound
implications for the community:
