Chairman LVNWWDA Dr. Julius KonesĀ  emphasized on the need for proper coordination for sustainability of projects. “We have done a number of projects in Nandi some of which are complete like Kipture community water project, Mosoriot and Kabiemit water supply . We will now focus in Tindiret and Aldai Sub Counties this financial year” he added.

CO Water and Sanitation Sally Kemboi, thanked the team for the projects being undertaken in schools as the school management can own the project and properly manage it.
