The contribution was utilised for mapping, drilling, equipping a 330m deep borehole, and the construction of a 24m\u00b3 elevated steel-pressed water tank. The borehole yields 5,400 litres of water every hour, which is enough drinking water for about 2,700 people per day.<\/p>\n
Lack of access to safe drinking water has been a major contributor to health problems for most people in Ndiguini. Prior to the project, families in Ndiguini would walk for up to 3km to access water that retailed at between Ksh20-30 per 20litre container. This is now a thing of the past as the communities will now buy the 20litre container at between Ksh5-10.<\/p>\n
The project was commissioned by Hon. Kimani Ichung\u2019wa, MP Kikuyu Constituency, Jane Karuku, the East
\nAfrican Breweries PLC (EABL) CEO and MD, and the Ndiguini community.<\/p>\n
Hon. Ichung\u2019wa commended EABL Foundation for its contribution to accelerating the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cWater, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are crucial in the attainment of human dignity and the prevention of diseases among our people. It is unfortunate that some of our people still struggle to access this special commodity \u2013 although we are making progress toward alleviating the situation,\u201d the MP said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur domestic water supply has recorded a noticeable growth over the years; 35 percent of the county
\npopulation has access to potable water. While we celebrate this progress, we are keen on accelerating the pace and therefore, most sincerely thank EABL Foundation for joining the Kiambu County government in achieving this for our people,\u201d Mr. Ichung\u2019wa concluded.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the event, Ms. Karuku emphasized that the company was keen on its People\u2019s interests and
\nwell-being as part of its sustainability agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt EABL, we have adopted an extensive sustainability strategy dubbed Society 2030: Spirit of Progress to ensure that our operations and value chain support the empowerment of people and the conservation of the planet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that we cannot build in isolation and are committed to creating shared value and growing with our communities for long-term benefits. We achieve this through various projects, among them – Water for Life – which provides access to clean and safe water for communities across the East African region. In Kenya, we have completed over 75 water projects in the last decade, which are benefitting over 2.5 million people across the country,\u201d Ms. Karuku added.<\/p>\n
