Semi-arid regions experience erratic rainfall. It usually falls to women and children to walk considerable distances to find reliable water sources. Water quality at these sources is often polluted by livestock grazing. Rainwater harvesting at the household or village scale will improve both the reliability and quality of water. Captured water can be used for both personal health and crop irrigation. Harvesting water utilizes locally sourced materials and the equipment is easy to use and maintain. The Foundation looks forward to establishing rainwater harvesting as a low-tech solution to improve quality of life for rural Kenyans.
