Station #3 is now operational! Water quality tests show 99.7% purity. The local community held a celebration yesterday.
We've trained 8 local operators who will maintain the stations long-term. Each operator serves their neighborhood.
Construction of station #2 is ahead of schedule. Solar panels installed today.
Kibera is one of the largest informal settlements in Africa, where over 250,000 residents lack access to clean water. This project installs 5 solar-powered water purification stations, each serving 1,000 families. The stations use UV filtration technology and are maintained by trained local operators.
