The Rift
Valley

4. Project Background
• 1.2 million people in the Rift Valley region
around Nakuru lack access to safe, sufficient
water during the dry season
• Ground water is very high in fluoride so shallow
wells are not an option
• The communities being served are very poor
and live in the rural areas outside of Nakuru
where there is no access to a municipal water
supply

5. Water Sources are Distant
and Contaminated
Typical Water

6. Lack of Safe Water
This lack of safe water has profound
implications for the community:
Disease & Sickness
Unsafe Water
&
Poor Sanitation
Poor School Attendance
Child Mortality
Gender Inequality
Poverty & Hunger

7. Project History
• Since 2001 Canadians have been working
with the Rotary Club of Nakuru to provide
funding for close to 5000 rainwater
harvesting tanks bringing a lifetime supply of
safe water to more than 30,000 people
• In 2010, the Rotary Club of Toronto Eglinton
became the lead international Rotary Club
with plans to build 500 tanks per year from
2011-2013
