Improved sanitation has been an ancillary benefit of community water availability. 1,050
Water is the foundation from which all things grow. We expect that this community will receive many benefits beyond access to clean, safe drinking water. Drinking Water - Community
Drinking Water - Households
This community has a high rate of waterborne disease. Because they fetch their water from the Ewaso Nyiro River, there is a high incidence of crocodile attacks. Community members must currently walk about 10 minutes to reach the river. A well will greatly improve the hygienic standards in the Supalek community. They will use the water for domestic purposes as well as livestock. $0
A water committee has been formed. They will oversee the day-to-day management of the well and communicate with TSP if any issues arise. The community fund will be created when well drilling begins in August 2011. The community wanted the well to be located inside Supalek. |
