"EABL Foundation Launches A Countrywide Water Initiative"

The EABL Foundation has...announced an expansive initiative in counties aimed at providing access to clean water and potentially transforming livelihoods of communities in dire need of the commodity.

The initiative will involve development of 10 sustainable, water projects in 10 counties to benefit communities struggling to access water. The programme is part of a larger programme dubbed “Water of Life” under which the Foundation has implemented over 50 community water projects in areas that are encountering perennial water shortage in the region.

Speaking at the launch, EABL’s Julie Adell-Owino, said the initiative is aimed at drastically reducing the amount of time and hassle that people - especially women and children - encounter in search of water, an increasingly scarce commodity among many communities in the region.
