For many communities in North Pokot, the search for water was once a daily struggle. Today, that story is changing.
A Journey That Began Before Sunrise
For many families in North Pokot, finding water once meant walking for hours before sunrise. Today, that story is changing.
Through Community Nursing Services (CNS), Rotary Doctors Sweden, and our partners, communities are gaining access to safe, reliable and sustainable water — bringing health, dignity and opportunity closer to home.
Turning a Challenge into an Opportunity
Community Nursing Services (CNS), together with Rotary Doctors Sweden and generous partners, recognized that access to clean water is more than a basic need it is the foundation for healthier families, stronger communities, and brighter futures.
Working closely with community leaders and residents, we have partnered with communities to identify sustainable water solutions that address local needs while building community ownership for long-term success.
Lokitadel: A New Beginning
The completion of the Lokitadel Community Drilled Well now serves 189 households and more than 1,100 people.
With water closer to home, children have more time for school, families can practice better hygiene, and livestock have a reliable source of water. What was once a daily struggle is now a source of hope.
Moinoi: From Hand Pump to Solar Power
At Moinoi, we went a step further. An existing community well that once relied on a hand pump was upgraded to a solar-powered system, providing a more reliable and sustainable water supply.
This is what sustainable development means to us — not simply completing projects, but listening to communities, improving what exists, and building solutions that last.
More than Water
Every drop represents something bigger:
A mother with more time for her family.
A child arriving at school ready to learn.
A healthier family.
A stronger livelihood.
A community with renewed hope.
Together with our partners and the communities we serve, CNS remains committed to bringing sustainable water solutions to more families across North Pokot.
Because when clean water flows, communities flourish. 💧
