Situated in the northwestern part of Kenya, West Pokot and Turkana counties are covered by vast arid open lying plains dominated by shrub and grassland.
According to the Kenya Meteorological Department rainfall in these areas is erratic and varies significantly over time and space, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 41°C.
This situation has seen residents of this area live a semi-nomadic life, as they have to move from one place to another in search of water and pasture for their livestock. With seasonal rivers and shallow wells often drying up, residents are forced to make long treacherous journeys in search of these precious commodities.
However, a wave of innovative solutions is offering hope in the face of these challenges. Through borehole drilling, and water filtration systems, local communities are finding sustainable ways to secure clean water. These efforts are not just improving access to this precious resource but also transforming lives, providing safer and easier options for families like those in the Natoos community in Turkana County, Kenya.
