Kapkoros-Ndarwetta Community Spring Water Project
Status: Completed
Period: June 2019 – March 2021
Partners: Taylors of Harrogate and Ethical Tea Partnership
Factory: Kapkoros
Aim of the project
This project aims at building bathrooms for the community as a different structure to promote hygiene and pollution issues. The bathrooms will be modelled after similar existing water points bathrooms in the County. The intention is to reduce the incidences of downward stream water contamination when communities bathe and clean clothes along the stream as it is the norm. It is also environmentally friendly in reducing pollution. The showers are to be modelled in different spaces and not just next to the water collection points.
