Mimwaita Primary School Solar Water Pumping SolutionAccording to a statistic by the National Government, 75 % of the population in Salgaa, Nakuru County, lack access to clean and safe water. This underscored the urgent need for clean water in the area. United by a shared vision of dignity, health, and opportunity, partners (Davis & Shirtliff, Britam Foundation, World Vision and County Government of Nakuru) collaborated and installed a 15kW solar powered borehole pump at Mimwaita Primary School that delivers 12,600-liters-per-hour.



The commissioning ceremony was graced by the presence of H.E. Susan Kihika, Governor of Nakuru County. Also present were Deputy Governor H. E. David Kones; World Vision Kenya National Director Gilbert Kamanga; Davis & Shirtliff General Manager David Bolo; representatives of the Britam Foundation; CECMs Nelson Maara and Zippy Wambui.

450 pupils now have sufficient water for washing, promoting better hygiene and reducing the incidence of related health issues. The event ended with planting of 50 fruit trees.
