At Tekelbei Foundation, we believe that access to clean and safe drinking water is not just a privilege, but a fundamental human right. That’s why we’re dedicated to empowering needy rural communities in Bomet County by providing sustainable water solutions through rainwater harvesting an storage projects, borehole drilling, and well construction initiatives. We believe in offering solutions based on community engagement and education, ensuring that local community members are at the key stakeholders in our projects.
Bringing access to clean and safe drinking water: Our Approach
- Community involvement and engagement: We care to listen to the issues directly affecting needy communities in Bomet County. We work with community members, their local leaders, and local authorities such as chiefs to find out challenges they are facing and raise a solution that benefits them effectively.
- Community Enlightment: We are always committed to community members being informed and self- sufficient in sustaining the projects implemented. We work together with local experts and local leaders to educate members on matters such as proper handling of the tanks, and equipment and maintaining proper hygiene practices such as handwashing and upholding the cleanliness of their rainwater catchment areas. We also show them how they can optimize the water to start income generating projects such as dairy farming and agriculture projects.
- Implementing the clean water projects: We comprehensively follow due processes such as engaging experienced water experts and professionals as well as getting the proper approvals to set up the projects so they are functional, safe, and reliable for the community beneficiaries.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: After the projects are installed, we keep track of how they are helping the community members while also engaging the local leaders. We ensure we keep going back to see how community members are faring and if the projects do work.
We never go in with a presumed and blanket approach as we understand that every community has unique needs, which is why we work closely with local experts and community members to determine the most appropriate water projects for each area. Whether it’s a drilled well or borehole, rainwater catchment system, or charity initiative, we prioritize solutions that are convenient, safe, and sustainable for the community.
Our commitment to transparency and accountability is firm. We ensure our team and partners disclose the real costs of installing and maintaining our water projects.
We also provide valuable community education on sanitation and hygiene practices, so that people wholly benefit from the projects into the future. We monitor and evaluate thoroughly to ensure that the projects are sustainable and leave a long lasting impact on future generations.
