We are continuing to raise funds 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 in Ngulu District of Makueni County, Kenya.
We wish to thank the Kitchen Table Charities Trust, Makueni County Government, Kitengela Rotary Club, the Musuvuli family and ResponsABLE assistance’s supporters who are contributing to make this happen.
To make this sustainable we have been co-producing with Kibwezi Fursa PWD’s Empowerment DPO, local citizens, Makueni County Government and Kitengela Rotary Club. Once water for Irrigation to grow fruit, vegetables and crops and the availability of clean drinking water will improve the lives and elevate poverty for many Makueni Count citizens in drought stricken Makueni County in rural Kenya.
These two short video clips were filmed the moment water was struck at a depth of 200 meters in November 2024. Since then all the necessary land ownership and government authorisation has been completed in order for fresh drinking water to be fairly distributed.
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.
