Turkana water project owned by diocese of Lodwar has given hope to Turkana community . The water project has constructed shallow dams as a way of conserving water during rainy season for future use. The sub- surface dam s have constructed in lotunguna,kekunyuk,Nakabosan,kangole and sasak.
In lotonguna the villagers are happy as they have an alternative after their traditional wells have dried up. They have not yet started using the sub-surface dam as there is enough water in their traditional wells as it had rained recently.
In Kekunyuk the villagers are using the traditional boreholes which the diocese has found it necessary to improve it by providing the community with solar tracking system. In Nakobosan the project has constructed two rock dams. They have helped to hold water and and the community has enough water for livestock and for domestic use.
During the workshop held today at 3.00pm in Bethany house Bethany house Bernhard Fischer said that 4 schools have been selected as been selected as beneficiaries of solar systems.
