Some brilliant news. Water was first located after drilling to depth of 120 meters on Sunday 17th November in Ngulu, then at a depth of 200 meters the water pressure was tested at 12.6 cubic meters per minute which is beyond expectations in the drought stricken region of Makueni County in Kenya.
Water quality testing results have now been received, showing that the water is fit for domestic use.
We are now starting our campaign to raise funds in order to install pumps and necessary solar-powered infrastructure, in order to distribute water to local communities, which will help them to grow fruit and vegetables.
Fursa initiative coordinator Dr Cecilia Nyaga and Josemari Nyagah joined us in Wales where we took part in interactive presentations in Schools, Community Centres, University of South Wales Newport campus and clubs.
We had to change the format of our Sharing Cultural Diversity presentations due to UK Visas having not been issued to some of our guests from Kenya.
Fursa initiative coordinator Dr Cecilia Nyagah, accompanied by Josemarie, talked about their lives, cultural activities, the economic realities of disabled people in rural Kenya and showing arts and crafts they produce.
The interactive presentations featured a video filmed on location in Makueni County and presentations from ResponsABLE assistance founder Trevor Palmer.
Our Sharing Cultural Diversity project was part funded by Newport City Council’s Arts and Culture, Heritage and Sports Grant scheme.
