Water arrives in Laikipia
A small dam, a solar pump and a 40,000-litre tank now supply about 100 people and the botanical garden near Il Polei.
A borehole for the Il Polei community in Laikipia North would have cost around £40,000, far beyond GIFT’s means. Instead, a small collection dam was dug in 2025, and it filled with rain straight away.
A tower, a raised 40,000-litre tank, a solar pump and pipework followed. Together they supply about 100 people and the community’s botanical garden.
