With 71 percent of our planet covered in water, it’s shocking to hear that one in nine people still lack access to safe drinking water. However, Kenya is now leading the way in providing clean, healthy water to its rural communities with the installation of a solar-powered desalination system in Kiunga.
GivePower, an NGO dedicated to bringing essential services to developing communities, has successfully installed a system capable of producing 70 thousand liters of drinkable water every day, providing enough for up to 35 thousand people. This breakthrough comes at a crucial time, as the global water crisis continues to impact billions of people worldwide [4].
This innovative solution not only addresses water scarcity in Kenya, but also offers hope for other parts of the world facing similar challenges. GivePower plans to build more “solar water farms” in other areas to provide accessible, clean water to those in need [8]. It’s a promising step towards a future where safe drinking water is available to everyone [4].
