About 275 km from Kenya’s capital, lies Ngundune, a semi-arid region in Meru County, Kenya. The region is prone to regular draught and as a result, is lacking in reliable sources of water. The ripple effect of this lack, is hardship,

displayed in increased levels of poverty, high incidences of faeco-oral infections, infestation of worms, and other water-related diseases. Davis and Shirtliff Meru, through the D&S #ImprovingLives program, have donated and installed a 1.1kW solar powered Dayliff borehole pumping system. The now rehabilitated borehole serves a population of 3,000 people in the community. With water accessible, the villagers now have the capability to explore economic activities, such as vegetable farming and fish rearing. Incidences of water-borne diseases are also expected to decrease. During a grand commissioning ceremony, local leaders expressed their gratitude to Davis & Shirtliff for seeing the project to completion and for its tireless service to marginalized communities.
