The completion of the Mututo Primary School borehole project in Mukurwe-ini has turned out to be a game changer not only for the learners but also for the residents living near the institution.
The project by the Tana Water Works Development Agency (TWWDA) was officially commissioned by former Water Cabinet Secretary (CS) Zecharia Mwangi Njeru, to address the perennial challenges of water for the school and surrounding communities, who had to walk long distances to search for the precious commodity.
The borehole, strategically drilled within the premises of Mututo Primary School, is designed to serve not only the school's population but also the neighbouring villages.
The availability of a consistent water supply has further catalysed economic activities in the area, with farmers now able to irrigate their crops more effectively, leading to increased agricultural productivity.
