Sh10 million water project to benefit 4,000 Kendu Bay residents

More than 4,000 households in Kendu Bay Town, Karachuonyo Constituency, are set to benefit from a newly completed Sh10 million water project, marking the end of years of persistent water shortages in the area. The national government implemented the project through the Lake Basin Development Authority in partnership with the office of Homa Bay County Woman Representative Dr. Joyce Osogo. Thhe Kanyadhiang Community Water Project is a solar powered system located at Kanyadhiang Comprehensive School. It is designed to supply over 5,000 liters of water per hour, serving both the surrounding community and more than 1,000 pupils in nearby schools. For decades, residents have been forced to walk long distances in search of clean water, a challenge that worsened during dry seasons. The facility was officially commissioned by Dr. Osogo, LBDA Director of Engineering Services Jacob Akuno, and Homa Bay County Executive Committee Member for Finance Solomon Obiero. Dr. Osogo noted that the initiative is part of broader efforts to address water scarcity and improve living standards in the region.
