Problem
Recurring drought cycles undermine smallholder production, livestock survival and household water security across Kenya's ASAL counties.
HDIC approach
HDIC designs, funds and delivers modular water-storage and distribution infrastructure with community operation-and-maintenance models, matched to irrigated horticulture and livestock offtake.
Objectives
- ◆Deliver additional community water storage across target counties
- ◆Enable irrigated horticulture at farmer-cooperative scale
- ◆Strengthen livestock resilience through reliable watering points
