Nakuru Informal Settlements Water Project (NISWP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n

Project Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nLed by Flamingo Lakes Conservation Network (FlamingoNet), this 24-month initiative aims to enhance access to \nclean, affordable water in Nakuru\u2019s informal settlements\u2014\nKaptembwa and Rhonda. With a budget of KES 5.75 million, the project promotes climate-resilient, inclusive water \nmanagement, aligned with Nakuru County\u2019s development \nplans and SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation)\n

The Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nNakuru faces a 40,000-liter daily water supply deficit, \nworsened by aging infrastructure, illegal connections, and \nunreliable service. Only 6% of residents in Kaptembwa and \nRhonda have household water connections, while the rest \nrely on costly and unsafe communal sources. This leads to \npublic health risks, gender-based vulnerabilities, and \neducational disruption for children tasked with fetching \nwater.\n

Proposed Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Stakeholder Engagement & Planning<\/strong>\n
\n\u2192 Multi-stakeholder forums to review the Nakuru City Climate Resilient Water Management Plan
\n
\n\u2192 Develop a Master Plan for water service delivery in low-income areas\n

2. Infrastructure Improvements<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Rehabilitate and extend water supply lines to underserved areas\n
\n\u2192 Remove informal \u201cspaghetti\u201d networks and install 10 \nrainwater storage tanks\n

3. Smart Water Vending Kiosks<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Construct 2 model water kiosks equipped with \nautomated ATMs and filtration systems (RO, UV)\n
\n\u2192 Promote hygienic water vending through a \u201cClean \nWater\u201d brand and packaging facilities\n

4. Delegated Management Model<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Enable NAWASSCO to bulk-sell water to Master \nOperators who manage local distribution\n
\n\u2192 Ensure service quality, affordability, and leak \nreduction through performance-based contracts\n\n\n

Target Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u2192 300 women and youth<\/strong> as direct beneficiaries
<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Wider Kaptembwa and Rhonda communities, including \nvulnerable groups and school children<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Water-related institutions, vendors, and resident \nassociations<\/p>\n

Partners & Collaborators<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022  NAWASSCO, Nakuru County Government, WRA,
NEMA, Egerton University, KPCG, CEDGG, and
PACJA<\/p>\n

\u2022 Residents\u2018 associations and community groups for \nmobilization and M&E<\/p>\n\n

Expected Results & Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Improved water access and affordability<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Reduced waterborne disease and time burden on \nwomen and children<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Increased inclusion of youth and women in decision making<\/p>\n

\n\u2192 Smart and sustainable water systems established<\/p>\n

Added Value<\/strong><\/p>\n

By blending technology, policy advocacy, and public-private partnerships, this project fosters community ownership, \nstrengthens urban water governance, and boosts resilience \nto climate challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
