This project is aimed at supporting three villages which depend on a single borehole. Water pipes will ease the pressure of them crowding at a single water source. The crowding at this water point created conflict amongst villagers. However, we have engaged with the elders and things are calm as we seek to find a sustainable solution. Through this, we also aim at educating the villagers to take up crop farming, tree planting and peace. This will help at improving food stability and nutrients for the families. We are also planing to educate the villagers on matters irrigation and tree planting. The projects addresses several UN SDGs.
The partners for this project include: The IEK North Eastern Branch, The IEK, IEEE PES Kenya, Doshi Group of Companies, Davis & Shirtliff, KeNHA, AIC Hope Mashinani School, Hayili Africa, KPLC, MID-P, Action Aid, ACDI, IEEE SIGHT Kenya, KURA and of course the local community members and the county governnent.
The engineering fraternity for the IEK led by IEK North Eastern members, did a fund raising campaign that saw it's members raise the funds to support this CSR initiative. The team also managed to rally members who are ready and willing to be on site on the implementaton date.
Volunteers from IEEE PES Kenya and IEEE SIGHT Kenya helped support the research process and will also be volunteering alongside the IEK members to ensure the success of this great initiative.
The Institution of Engineers of Kenya and IEEE Kenya have been working side by side and are currenlty working on an MoU to work hand in hand for the best platform for our engineering fraternity.
