Project description:

 

Borehole Kenya 

This project has partnered with the community of Mabinju, a 5000-person village located in south west Kenya, which has very limited access to clean, potable water for agriculture, livestock and daily needs. This project team is associated with the UC Davis chapter for Engineers Without Borders, and plans to develop a sustainable model for the reliable and safe use of groundwater sources through the practical implementation of a borehole as a groundwater solution that provides safe drinking and by providing education to the community on key sanitation and hygiene issues.
