Residents of Nyakach can finally breathe a sigh of relief after years of struggling with water scarcity, thanks to a new partnership between an American NGO, EM3, and the Kisumu County Government.
The collaboration has launched critical water projects in Michura and Obange Secondary School, aiming to provide clean, potable water to thousands of residents in an area plagued by prolonged drought and erratic rainfall patterns.
For years, communities in Nyakach have endured the harsh reality of water shortages, forcing women and children to trek long distances sometimes up to 10 kilometers in search of water.
The available sources, often unprotected wells and seasonal rivers, expose residents to waterborne diseases and the constant risk of contamination.
