Grant Description
On September 13, 2018, China Communications Construction Co. (CCCC) agreed to provide two 800-cubic-meter water tanks to the Kajiado County Government for the Kimuka Community Water Project. CCCC is a majority state owned enterprise of the Chinese government. CCCC undertook the project as a corporate social responsibility project alongside the Kenya Railway Corporation (KR).
The tanks will store underground water discovered during the construction of Kenya's Single Gauge Railway, for which CCCC is a major contractor. The project was to have the capacity to pump 1.6 million liters per hour. The project was expected to take 3 months to construct.
The water will benefit around 72,000 residents in Kajiado West Sub-County, a semi-arid region that often suffers water shortages. President Uhuru Kenyatta officially commissioned the project on October 16, 2019, after its completion.
Staff Comments
The project is also known as the the Kimuka-Oloishoibor Water Project.
