We are making positive progress in order to securely construct a solar powered installation to pump, filter, store and distribute the water fairly to improve the health and wellbeing of local communities.
Since water was first located and tested as safe for domestic use at a depth of 200 meters last November in Ngulu district of Makueni County, Kenya, we have been busy making sure local infrastructure and facilities are in order.
To make this sustainable we have been co-producing with Kibwezi Fursa PWD’s Empowerment DPO, local citizens, Makueni County Government, Kitengela Rotary Club and funding bodies. Irrigation to grow fruit, vegetables and crops and clean drinking water will improve the lives and elevate poverty for many Makueni Count citizens in drought stricken Makueni County in rural Kenya.
We wish to thank the Kitchen Table Charities Trust, Kitengela Rotary Club, Makueni County Government, the Musuvuli family, Welsh Rotary Clubs we are in discussions with, and ResponsABLE assistance’s supporters who are contributing to make this happen.
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.
