Clean Water Borehole, Shauri Yako (Kanjeru)
Families in Shauri Yako (Kanjeru) once walked long distances to draw water from a contaminated stream. The Youth Forum Foundation, with James CBO, drilled a deep borehole and laid pipework across the settlement — bringing safe, reliable water close to home for roughly 29,000 residents.
