The Mara River Water Users Association family is mourning the loss of a remarkable leader, mentor, and environmental warrior, the late John Koech.
John dedicated his life to the noble cause of conservation, fighting tirelessly to safeguard our ecosystem for future generations. His impact on the Mara River Basin is immeasurable, and his absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt by us all.
He was more than just a key figure in our team; he was a fierce protector of our natural world. His unwavering dedication to fighting for the environment, restoring our watersheds, and advocating for sustainable water governance leaves behind an indelible footprint across the Mara River Basin.
While John has left us, the forests he helped protect, the waters he fought to preserve, and the communities he inspired stand as a living testament to his incredible legacy. His passion will continue to guide our mission.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult moment. We will continue to update you on the planning for his sendoff.
