Giving Update: Utuneni Community

"Before this project was completed, I would really struggle to get water. The nearest water point was at the mountains, which are close to three kilometers from here. Walking to that water point was very strenuous as I had to carry a jerrycan full of water ascending and descending the sloppy terrains," said Musyoki.

"I have seen the benefits of this water point in farming at home. I water the vegetables at home using the water from the sand dam project. Among the vegetables planted are; spinach, kales, onions, and tomatoes. Since the water point was completed, life at home also changed. I eat better food and also drink cleaner and safer water than I used to before."

"I am still young, and I would like to start farming early on, now that there is bare land at home and abundant water supply. I intend to plant bananas, arrowroot, and establish a tree nursery with fruit trees which I can transplant to the farm."
