Bomet water supply and sanitation project, with which the national government of the Republic of Kenya intends to expand clean water supply in Bomet County, particularly in Bomet, Longisa, and Mulot, has kicked off.
Funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the USD 13 million project will be implemented by the Lake Victoria South Water Works Development Agency (LVSWWD) under the Kenya Towns Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Program.
Upon completion, the Bomet water supply and sanitation project is expected to benefit 2,16,850 people in the region, where water scarcity is a major problem, both in urban and rural areas.
The project is part of a series of other initiatives being implemented countrywide as the government targets to boost food security and sanitation.
