Good news for women as MYWO launches water project in Kajiado countyMaendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation chairperson Rahab Muiu accompanied by local MYWO officials flags off water tanks during the launch of the water project in Basil town, Kajiado County. [Winnie Koros, Standard]Residents of Basil town in Kajiado County have a reason to smile after the Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) launched a water project in the area.The project will see women harvest rainwater and store in tanks to avert the perennial water crisis in the area. Muiu said the project inaugurated at Kajiado was just the beginning of a nationwide tour to all the 47 counties to mobilise women to harvest rainwater and store the commodity in water tanks. The journey begins from Kajiado and it is our intention to ensure that no woman trek or struggle to get water,” Ms Muiu said. Harvesting of water has for long been sensitised in Kenya with an obvious existing gap of the availability of storage containers to enable the process.
