We are reversing the poison in Lake Baringo
Lake Baringo has long exposed residents to health risks from naturally high fluoride levels, causing dental and skeletal fluorosis.
But the good news is that as we marked World Water Day, over 20,000 people in the Kampi Ya Samaki community in Baringo County gained access to safe drinking water with the launch of a KSh 71 million (USD 430,000) treatment plant.
The ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis facility supported by DuPont Water Solutions directly addresses these risks, ensuring the community has reliable access to clean water and supporting better health and well-being for children and their families.
This project was implemented by ChildFund International in partnership with DuPont Water Solutions, the County Government of Baringo,
Central RiftValley Water Works, Davis & Shirtliff, Hand in Hand Eastern Africa, and the CENTRAL RIFT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, with great support and leadership from the Kampi ya Samaki community.
Childfund , Dupont, Davis & Shirtliff and partners expand access to safe water in Baringo, Kenya through new flouride treatment plant.
