Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti has commissioned the Wamboo Market Borehole in Wamboo Sub-location, Ekalakala Ward, in a major boost to access to clean and reliable water for approximately 13,000 residents.
Implemented through a partnership between the County Government of Machakos and I LOVE AFRICA NGO from Korea, the project features a 195-metre-deep borehole with a yield of 13 cubic metres per hour, a 5.5-kilowatt solar pumping system, a 20,000-litre elevated storage tank, a 1.2-kilometre water distribution network and four water points serving Wamboo Market, Wamboo Primary School, Wamboo Secondary School and Wamboo Level 2 Health Facility.
The solar powered project provides a sustainable and cost effective water supply solution that will support household consumption, agricultural activities and sanitation while strengthening healthcare and education services. The investment is also expected to boost local businesses, improve livelihoods and ease the burden of accessing water for residents. Governor Wavinya reaffirmed her administration’s commitment to expanding access to reliable water through strategic partnerships and investments in community-based water projects.
