More than 5,000 residents of Kavunyalalo village in Malindi Subcounty of Kilifi County have benefited from a new solar powered water project that aims to improve their living standards.

Led by Mwarandu Kombe, the residents received water pipes and fittings to connect water from the newly completed borehole project to their homes and farms saying that the initiative will not only ease their struggle to access water but also boost agricultural productivity.

“I used to spend a lot of money to purchase fuel for running the generator to pump water for irrigation and I turned to gas but still it was expensive and we thank these organizations for giving us the solar powered water borehole.”

The project, funded by DANCO in partnership with AMREF, provides water for domestic use, farming, and food production.

The residents expressed gratitude for the project, saying that they previously spent a significant amount of time and resources fetching water for their farms.
