The National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NWHSA) and Kericho Water and Sanitation Company (KEWASCO) has formalized a strategic partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at enhancing water harvesting and storage infrastructure within the KEWASCO service area.
The MOU establishes a collaborative framework for the development and implementation of sustainable water harvesting and storage projects. This partnership seeks to improve water availability, strengthen climate resilience, and support socio-economic development in Kericho and its surrounding areas.
Under the agreement, the two institutions will jointly identify priority projects, mobilize resources, and provide technical expertise to ensure efficient execution of infrastructure initiatives. The collaboration is expected to significantly boost water security, particularly in response to increasing demand and the impacts of climate variability.
