The water project at Lower Kogembo Community is a complete success! The
well was successfully installed and clean, safe water is serving the
community.
The former water source at Lower Kogembo was a hand
dug well only about 30 feet deep. It served a community of 400+, and
was
saline (salty).
Our implementing partner reported...
with joy. The community members promised to do well in their projects
i.e poultry keeping, zero grazing with this new water source near them.
Most of them said they will improve their living standards by the end of
this year using this water. They also promised to provide security for
the pumps maintenance and operation."
A water committee is in place and is well organized.
Our project lead reported that "Lower Kogembo is complete, the cement
works are of a good standard,
and the quality of the water is adequate for all their needs. It was a
real pleasure
kogembo, as this scheme is a great example of community water supply. "
