GDC is giving a new breath of life to thousands of North Rift region communities through provision of clean water and development of infrastructure. GDC has constructed over 100km of roads in Korosi, Paka and Silali. This has eased transport in the area and it has also opened the area which is now easily accessible.
In addition, the company has installed key water filtration points in several locations in the region, a move which will enable close to 10,000 residents and livestock access clean water.
Speaking during a media tour of the project, GDC's North Rift Area Manager Mr. John Lagat said that GDC will pump water from Lake Baringo, which goes through a carbon filter purification system that uses reverse osmosis method, cleaning the water. The water is then supplied to the communities.
"We thank our donors especially KfW because through this system, close to 10,000 households and their livestock will now access clean water," said Mr Lagat who was also accompanied by a section of GDC staff.
