Hello!
Welcome to the Kenya team’s page, where you can learn about our water supply project for a community of 3500 people in Mabinju, Western Kenya. The community’s current main source of water, Lake Victoria, is infested with toxic water hyacinth, and our team is working to implement a solar powered groundwater well to provide enough clean water for the entire community. We are working in partnership with Kar Geno, a local non-governmental organization, and the Mabinju Water Board to provide the community residents with reliable access to safe potable water.
2022-2023 Kenya Project Leads
