According to the school Director Chacha Nyamohanga, the water project was a big achievement for the area and the school ending many years of struggling to get water for drinking and domestic use.

“We used to get water from the stream ten miles which was not even clean and save for our children,” Nyamohanga said when we visited the school located within Kehancha town.

He said the school’s pupils were exposed to water borne diseases at the stream and the borehole would safeguard their health through the clean water.

During the interview, Nyamohanga said that the Mega water project is able to serve his 700 pupils and more than two hundred households living near the school.

Nyamohanga thanked the US based NGO which gave him support to complete the project which cost approximately Kshs 500,000.
