WATER = healthy communities + healthy environments + thriving economies
Through Integrated Water Resources Management we are tackling water challenges in the Lake Naivasha and Mau-Mara-Serengeti Landscape to support livelihoods, biodiversity and businesses.
Just three per cent of water on the planet is freshwater, and only about one per cent is readily available for human use.
In a society reliant on farming and tourism to sustain livelihoods, natural resources are bound to be adversely depleted and affected, causing drastic environmental degradation in the long run.
We work with partners in the Lake Naivasha Basin which hosts over 50 large-scale horticultural farms mostly for export, over 30,000 subsistence and local markets smallholder farms.
Through the Lake Naivasha Basin reforestation and an afforestation initiative with a carbon credit component, we are supporting small holder farmers within the basin to promote creation of new forests in farmlands, rehabilitation of natural vegetation and improved water resource management. While at the same time promoting sustainable consumption and production practices , creating green jobs and reducing poverty through the Green Horticulture at Lake Naivasha (GOALAN) project.
We are addressing water related challenges in the Mara basin-the only reliable source of surface water in the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem and a lifeline to the Eighth Wonder of the World - TheGreat Wildebeest Migration.
In coastal Kenya, we are working with communities and partners to enhance quantity and quality of water in Lake Kenyatta in Lamu and River Mkurumudzi in Kwale. Access to clean, safe and reliable freshwater for people, ecosystems and local industries is key in achieving sustainable development goals.
We empower Water Resources Authorities and local Water Resources Management institutions to work together to implement effective water resources management system and initiate focused water regulatory interventions such as restoration of degraded key headwaters and riparian areas, developing Water Allocation Plans to guide water use in the Basins.
We promote inclusive water stewardship through Public Private Partnerships
We all have a relationship with water. The very fabric of life. You can change our water story
