Before the Thuura Water Project, the women of Thuura faced the arduous task of walking three miles to the river multiple times a day to fetch water and wash clothes. This labor-intensive duty consumed much of their time and energy, limiting their ability to participate in other productive activities.

Community-Driven Initiative

From Vision to Reality

Recognizing the urgent need for accessible clean water, Imani Kenya funded a pipeline and purification project to bring water directly from the river to the community. This ambitious project was a true community effort, with residents taking on the challenge themselves.

• Women Digging Trenches: The women of Thuura took the lead in digging the trenches needed for the pipeline, showcasing their strength and commitment to improving their community.
• Men Laying the Pipe: The men laid the pipes, working tirelessly to ensure the successful completion of the project.

After months of hard work and collaboration, the community’s dream became a reality: purified water piped directly to all residents. This monumental achievement was the first step toward positioning Thuura for economic transformation.

Catalyzing Economic Transformation

The Birth of Coffee Farming

With the introduction of clean water, a new idea emerged that would further transform the community: coffee farming. The availability of water for irrigation made it possible to cultivate coffee, setting the stage for economic growth and sustainability.

• Reducing Labor Burden: With easy access to clean water, the burden on women was significantly reduced, freeing up labor for other productive tasks, including coffee farming.
• Empowering the Community: The successful implementation of the water project empowered the community, demonstrating their ability to drive change and improve their living conditions.

The Thuura Water Project has had a profound and lasting impact on the community:

• Health Benefits: Access to purified water has improved the health and well-being of residents, reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases.
• Time Savings: The significant reduction in time spent fetching water has allowed women to engage in other economic activities, contributing to household incomes and overall community prosperity.
• Foundation for Growth: The success of the water project laid the foundation for further initiatives, such as the Thuura Coffee Project, driving continued economic and social development.
