KEEPING THE BIG PICTURE IN FOCUS

As we draw closer to the culmination of the project, to Provide-Clean-Water-To-Over-1800-Nyamongeans, it is imperative to reiterate the primary objective to provide access to clean, safe drinking water.

A lot has transpired since the onset of the project. With direct funding and support from GlobalGiving, the college has drilled a borehole, installed a Solar Powered Pump, constructed an elevated Water Tower, and installed a Water Bottling Plant, which has been branded “Oceanic Bubbles.” This is depicted in Table 1. Goal of the Project. In keeping with the objective, to provide access to clean, safe drinking water, the college opted for a Water Bottling Plant, as opposed to the initial proposal of a Digital Water Kiosk. With the periodic assessment of the project, it was predicted that a Water Bottling Plant would be economically beneficial to the college in comparison to the Kiosk.

Besides the overarching outcome of access to clean, safe drinking water, the previous report outlined three direct outcomes including, the establishment of the College Garden, improved Food Security, and sustainability of the college environment.

Generally, we are pleased with the activity measure; for the 90% work completed, and the outcome measure; for the intended results achieved.

As the college expands its program offering, specifically in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), it is envisaged that the Oceanic Bubbles, the new bottling plant would be included in one of the technical courses offered at the college.

Moving forward, the college is committed to fostering a stronger relationship with the GlobalGiving Community, to achieve, and go beyond the goal for which the water project was started.

Through the project to Provide-Clean-Water-To-Over-1800-Nyamongeans, the college has managed to create a conducive environment for learning, and inculcated a campus-wide desire, for a culture of ownership and responsiveness.

COLLEGE GARDEN SHAPING UP

We have steadily moved on with the project, still staying true to our goal, to Provide-Clean-Water-To-Over-1800-Nyamongeans.

At the moment, two phases of the project are complete, we still have 30% of work to be done on the third phase, the Water Tower to make 100% functional. Most of this has been realized by funds from GlobalGiving and direct funding.

It is now four years since the College was vetted in to the GlobalGiving Platform, and from the efforts made, three direct outcomes have become apparent: 1. College Garden Establishment, the college has improved on its garden, and hopes to utilize the limited space to feed its residents.

2. Improved Food Security, as you will see in the photos, we no longer purchase vegetables for on campus consumption, we have increased access to vegetables. Very soon the college will be consuming fruits from its garden. 3. Environmental sustainability, the college has continuously planted trees in designated area to give the college aesthetic beauty and to make it conducive for learning.

The project objective to provide access to clean safe drinking water, has been realized on campus, and to about 40% of the local community. A section that is still wanting is to complete plumbing work, and be able to reach more people in the community.

As we work towards helping our students discover their purpose and be able to make a difference in the society, we also wish to empower more members of this community with similar ideals.

We are committed to forging ahead for stronger relationship with the GlobalGiving Community, to achieve the goal for which this project was started, to go beyond that. We hope to make the most out of this project to be able to serve the college and its community now and in the years to come.

BRACING FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE

With great resilience, the college sails through an economic downturn, where the economic growth of Kenya is down and inflation is up. With the support from well-wishers, donors, and development partners, the college has stayed on course with its GlobalGiving Project goal, to Provide-Clean-Water-To-Over-1800-Nyamongeans.

The objective to make safe and clean drinking water accessible to our students and the local community is drawing nigh to fruition. The College is grateful to its GlobalGiving partners and its direct funders, who have helped propel its vision this far.

As noted in my last report, 80% of the 3^rd Phase of the project, which is the installation of the water tower is complete. The tower has been installed, tested, and filled with water. Only 50% of the plumbing work has been done. The college still has 50% of the plumbing work pending to get the water to its designated locations. The College hopes to use the 2024 April Matching GlobalGiving Campaign funds, to bring this phase to fruition.

The college is bracing for the final phase of the project, which is the installation of a digital kiosk and/or a water bottling plant. The college considers the project, to Provide-Clean-Water-To-Over-1800-Nyamongeans, an innovative project that will help sail the college to its greatest height.

Well-aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal #6, the college is determined to make sustainable access, to safe, clean, and reliable drinking water, to as many people as possible within and beyond this local community.

As the college draw closer to completing phase 3 of this project, it also prepares to offset the final phase of this project which is, the construction of a Digital Kiosk and/or a Water Bottling Plant.

The college has found its strength amidst the staggering economy and we trust this will help it build its resilience moving forward.

We feel honored to work with you!
