A new borehole project at Noolasiti Primary School was officially commissioned yesterday, marking a major milestone in efforts to address chronic water shortages in Kajiado South.
The initiative, spearheaded by area MP Sakimba Parashina, is expected to transform access to clean water for students, families, livestock, and wildlife in the wider Noolasiti community.
Talking during the official commissioning, Parashina said that the borehole would lay the foundation for a more resilient and prosperous Noolasiti community.
The project is designed to serve multiple sectors, strengthening education by ensuring students have access to safe drinking water, supporting agriculture and livestock, and contributing to conservation by reducing pressure on fragile ecosystems.
It also aligns with broader goals of community development and climate resilience.
