Provide clean & safe water for 1500 women&children

The Mutulani community through Mawe CBO has increased water harvesting activities to tap rain water for domestic use and initiate commercial activities through irrigation. The community has also constructed a third sand dam at the upper part of Kyanduu earth dam acting as a check from silting their main water source.

The community has been working with the Makueni County government to initiate more water harvesting structures to tap water from the expected rains. The county government has been constructing water pans and encouraging people at the individual level to adopt water harvesting techniques that will ensure the October-January rainfall will be well tapped and utilized. The Kaiti Constituency Development Fund has also supported both Mutulani primary and Mutulani secondary with 10,000 litre water tanks for roof catchment water harvesting to increase the amount of water in the schools.

Mrs. Muia a member of Mawe CBO attributed all these achievements to the PEN initiated project and Global giving where she reported that, “we appreciated the funds received through Global giving platform and PENs’ facilitation of the process because our area has been faced with recurrent water crisis year after year, however after receiving training as a group, we have been enlightened on establishment of partnerships to deal with our common problems. Now Mutulani community looks different and we have initiated many water harvesting projects through partnerships since PEN was introduced to us.”
