Villagers at Lolkeringet, Mosop Constituency, have a reason to smile after a Switzerland-based man installed a multimillion water that benefits approximately 500 households.
Stephen Rugut said when he was a child at Lolkeringet village, walked several kilometers away to fetch water for domestic use and also for their animals.
He said it was for that reason that inspired his decision to redeem his village from water crisis.
The Sh.5 million project uses solar power to pump water from streams, bore holes and nearby rivers to the nearest points where it would be easily accessible to the villagers. "I chose solar energy because of its harmless to the environment and also due to its sustainability with less maintenance cost once it is installed," Rugut said.
