TRANSFORMING WATER ACCESS & HEALTHCARE IN KAKAMEGA NORTH SUB-COUNTY
Exciting progress is underway in Kakamega County as we prepare for Phase 2 of the Rainwater Catchment Tank Construction!
Our technical team has successfully concluded comprehensive site surveys at Mukhwabuye, Chegulo, and Sheywe dispensaries to map out building structures and storage requirements.
• Addressing Critical Needs: Facilities like Mukhwabuye Dispensary serve about 45 patients daily alongside 7 staff members.
• Solving Seasonal Shortages: Mukhwabuye currently consumes 2,500 liters of water weekly, but currently faces severe water scarcity during dry seasons due to a lack of adequate storage.
• Facility & Community Impact: The rainwater harvesting systems will secure clean, reliable water for medical operations, general cleaning, and safe drinking, while also benefiting around 20 neighboring households.
• Materials On-Site: Interlocking Soil Stabilized Blocks (ISSB) have already been delivered to all three dispensaries (Mukhwabuye, Chegulo, and Sheywe), clearing the way for construction to begin immediately!
Reliable water in primary healthcare facilities saves lives and upgrades service delivery. Stay tuned for more updates as building begins!
