Project Description

Region: Africa

Country: Kenya

Location: North Laikipia

Total Budget: $50,000

Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene



Reliable access to water is the most critical concern in North Lakipia, Kenya. To address this problem, the Sidai Livelihoods Women Group and the Puaata Self-Help Groups, based in Laikipia North, seek KES 6.1 million ($50,000) to implement a rainwater-harvesting project. The goal of this project is to provide an easily maintained and sustainable supply of clean, safe water to each household in the two communities of Olmunishoi and Il Polei. This initiative will provide 104 households with 3,000-liter water tanks and guttering systems. To ensure the project reaches the most underprivileged, the groups have established a "Social Equity Framework" in which beneficiaries contribute to a revolving fund to install corrugated iron sheets on thatched houses, ensuring everyone can harvest water effectively.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
