A Lifeline for the Community
In the heart of Kwale County, Kenya, where access to clean water has long been a challenge, Skyvast Global Initiative undertook a transformative mission: the Kwale Nuru Water Project. Recognizing the dire need for a sustainable water source, we worked closely with the local community to construct a large water pan that now serves as a lifeline for hundreds of families.

A Lifeline for the Community
The Kwale Nuru Water Project has not only provided water—it has sparked hope, resilience, and growth within the community. It stands as a testament to what is possible when people come together with a shared vision of transformation.
Skyvast Global Initiative remains committed to replicating this success across other regions, ensuring that no community is left without access to the most basic and essential resource: water.
Project Benefits
Reliable Access to Water
The water pan, designed to collect and store rainwater, provides a dependable source of water throughout the year, even during dry seasons. This has reduced the community’s reliance on distant or unreliable water sources.
Health Benefits
With access to cleaner water, cases of waterborne diseases have drastically decreased. Families now enjoy better health, and children no longer miss school due to preventable illnesses.
Time Savings
Before the project, women and children spent hours walking long distances to fetch water, often carrying heavy jerrycans. The water pan has eliminated this daily struggle, freeing up time for productive activities like education and income generation.
Improved Food Security
The availability of water has enabled small-scale irrigation for farming, allowing families to grow vegetables and other crops. This has boosted food security in the area and created opportunities for income generation through the sale of surplus produce.
Livestock Sustainability
For pastoralist families, the water pan has become a critical resource for their livestock, reducing losses during dry periods and improving the economic stability of households.
Community Ownership
The Kwale Nuru Water Project was a collaborative effort, involving community members in its planning and construction. This sense of ownership ensures the water pan’s maintenance and long-term sustainability.
