TRANSFORMING WATER SCARCITY INTO SHARED OPPORTUNITY.
The Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority joined hands with local administration, area leadership and the community at Kathiani Primary School, Katothya, Machakos County, to roll out a transformative drought mitigation project.
Through a community sensitization program, we engaged the community on the life-changing impact of a Project that will soon deliver water where drought has long dictated hardship.The Project will construct intake works and a storage tank to serve 1,200 households of Ngetani and Kathiani Primary School itself. For the community, this is more than infrastructure. It is the power to irrigate, the chance to secure food and the assurance that children can learn in an environment where water is not a luxury but a guarantee.
In drought-stricken areas, a reservoir is not just concrete and pipes, it’s a lifeline. A reservoir that will secure water, sustain farms and keep children in school without the daily disruption of water scarcity. By situating it at a school, we anchor the future directly where it matters most: with the next generation .Resilience is built where it matters most: at the community level, with the community at the center.
