Makutano Sinai
- Location: Makueni County
- Makutano water project serves a community of ca. 20,000 people and 24,000 livestock
- The existing borehole pump capacity is 13m³/hr. The well bore is narrow so a larger pump cannot be installed. The borehole is not meeting water demand, even when running for 24h/d. Some water kiosks have been closed while others have water rationing.
- An additional estimated 2,900 people could gain access, when all 25 kiosks are operationalised.
- WaterStarters activities; drill a new borehole (20m³/hr) & install a hybrid solar power supply. Install tanks at the water kiosks, operationalise all kiosks & make new connections, health programme
