Nairobi, Kenya, 30th May 2024-East African Breweries PLC (EABL) Foundation has partnered with the Western Kenya Water Project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), for a three-year collaboration and has set aside USD 150,000 (KES 20 million) to be invested annually on various last mile water projects in Western Kenya.
The projects will be executed by the EABL Foundation, which will conduct hydrological studies, drill, and equip boreholes using renewable energy to ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place to provide clean and reliable water sources.
