Water Tanks for Women and Schools in Laikipia

Laikipia County, like many regions, face the persistent challenge of water scarcity. 

To address this critical issue, Governor Joshua Irungu has launched a special project to distribute water tanks to women's groups and various schools across the county.

This initiative aims to improve access to clean water for communities, particularly focusing on vulnerable groups and educational institutions. 

By providing these tanks, the county government seeks to enhance water storage capacity, enabling residents and students to collect and store rainwater or water from other available sources.

This will help mitigate the impact of irregular water supply and reduce the burden of fetching water from distant locations, a task that often falls to women and children.

The distribution to women's groups empowers them by providing a direct means to manage their water resources for domestic use, small-scale farming, and other income-generating activities. 

For schools, access to reliable water sources is crucial for sanitation, hygiene, and overall student well-being, contributing to a more conducive learning environment.

Governor Irungu's project underscores the county's commitment to finding practical solutions to the water crisis and improving the quality of life for its residents.

 This targeted approach is expected to make a significant difference in the daily lives of many Laikipia households and institutions.
