RELIEF AS NDALAT WARD RESIDENTS BENEFIT FROM KAPKATET WATER PROJECT
Residents of Ndalat Ward in Mosop sub-county are assured of access to a reliable water supply, courtesy of Kapkatet Water Project undertaken by the County Government of Nandi in the area.
The project serves more than 200 households and neighbouring institutions.
In addition to the infrastructure components, the project boasts a communal water fetching point, and a storage tank catering to both human and livestock needs.
The Chief Officer for Water Jonah Tireito lauded the initiative saying, “access to clean and safe water is fundamental for every resident of Nandi county.”
He said Governor Sang’s administration has prioritized sustainable water management and community engagement to ensure that no citizen is left behind in the quest for basic amenities.
He expressed optimism about the project’s transformative impact on health, academic standards, conflict reduction, and the promotion of agricultural production for food security.
The residents in the reported that the water project has reduced the need for long journeys to obtain the precious commodity.
“We have really benefited from this water project, initially; we walked for longer distances in search of water. The water was polluted by sprays from people farming alongside the river and hence affecting our children,” said Mrs Kosgei, a resident of the village.
She noted that apart from getting safe water for domestic use, they were also using it for farming to generate income to support their families.
‘’As women, our burden has been relieved; we get water close to our homestead. We can now practice farming of vegetables. Through farming, we get money for women’s groups and school fees,” she noted.
The impact of such project extends far beyond infrastructure, fostering economic growth and improving the quality of life for residents.
