Transforming Water Access in Kilifi, Narok, and Meru Counties
In collaboration with the National Irrigation Authority (NIA), Skyvast Green Initiative has spearheaded the construction of 670 household water harvesting projects across Kilifi, Narok, and Meru counties. These water storage systems, with a combined capacity of 720,000m³, serve as a lifeline for thousands of farmers and families, ensuring reliable access to water for agriculture, livestock, and household use.This initiative is not just about collecting water—it’s about creating lasting opportunities. By integrating agroforestry, commercial vegetable farming, and ecosystem establishment, we are setting the stage for sustainable livelihoods and environmental resilience.
