Huruma Primary School in Huruma Ward of Turbo Sub-county is set to receive a major boost in access to water following the ongoing implementation of a rainwater harvesting project under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) programme.
The project, which is expected to bring significant relief to the school community, will provide a reliable water supply to more than 1,500 learners who have had to carry water to school over the years.
Once completed, the project will enable the school to access water within its premises, easing the burden on students and improving hygiene and sanitation.
The scope of works includes the construction of a 50-cubic-metre water sump, installation of a solar-powered pumping system, and construction of a water distribution main to facilitate the supply of harvested rainwater across the school.
During a recent site inspection, Eng. Benadys Chelagat and Meshack Amai, a Climate Change Unit (CCU) officer, commended the progress of the project and expressed satisfaction with the quality and pace of the works.
The officials said the project is expected to be completed by the end of September 2026, paving the way for the school to begin benefiting from a more reliable and accessible water supply.
The Huruma Primary project is among more than 40 FLLoCA water projects that have been handed over to contractors for implementation across the county.
Through FLLoCA, the county is investing in locally driven climate solutions that address pressing community needs while promoting sustainable development and resilience.
