Madibwani village is situated east of Kwale County and is one of the villages struggling with several challenges. The marketing team visited the town and realized that there was a water problem in the area. With a population of about 1,200 people, many homesteads don’t have access to clean water so they either walk for about 4km or more or use rainwater for several months a year.
There are a few uncovered hand-dug and drilled wells but still, it’s not enough for the growing population.
Madibwani villagers were so excited to learn that the Village Drill machine is a tool that can drill a well at an affordable cost. Community members have worked so hard despite hard economic times to raise part of the drilling funds and they have qualified for the community-funded well program.
In less than a week drilling will commence and we hope they will enjoy clean water soon.
