Davison Water Drilling implemented the solar-powered boreholes Turkana County in three villages. This project was made possible through a partnership with the Greek Orthodox Church in California.

Additionally, the Rotary Club of Syokimau and the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara also played crucial roles. Their support was instrumental in realizing this life-changing project. Together, we’ve made a significant impact on the lives of Turkana residents.

Turkana County, located in northwestern Kenya, is known for its harsh, semi-arid climate.

For generations, communities in this region have struggled with chronic water shortages. Consequently, forcing women and children to embark on long, often dangerous journeys in search of water.

The lack of accessible clean water has had far-reaching consequences on health, education, and economic development in the area.

Recognizing the urgent need for sustainable water solutions, Davison Water Drilling joined forces with international partners to bring about change.

The project’s success was made possible through the combined efforts of:

The installation of solar-powered boreholes in three Turkana villages has brought about significant positive changes:

1. Improved Health and Sanitation: Access to clean water has reduced the incidence of waterborne diseases. Therefore, improving overall community health.
2. Time and Safety for Women and Children: With water now available within their villages, women and children no longer need to make long, potentially dangerous journeys to fetch water. Basically, this time can now be invested in education, economic activities, or family care.
3. Economic Opportunities: Reliable water access opens up possibilities for small-scale agriculture and other water-dependent livelihoods, potentially boosting local economies.
4. Environmental Sustainability: The use of solar power ensures that the water supply is not only clean but also environmentally friendly and sustainable in the long term.
5. Community Empowerment: The project has involved local communities in the maintenance and management of the boreholes, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment.

The success of the solar-powered boreholes in Turkana serves as a model for future water projects in arid and semi-arid regions. Consequently, Davison Water Drilling is committed to expanding this approach to other communities in need.

As we reflect on the smiles of children who now have daily access to clean water. The relief on the faces of women who no longer fear for their safety during water collection, we are reminded of the transformative power of clean water.

This project is all about unlocking human potential and creating opportunities for growth and development.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners for their crucial roles in making this project a reality.

Together, we have taken a significant step towards a future where clean, reliable water is accessible to all, regardless of their geographic location or economic status.
