ROTARY GLOBAL GRANT
Building a Healthier and More Sustainable Future for Talek
Through safe drinking water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education, this project helps create long-term benefits for the Talek community and future generations
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
The Challenge in Talek
Access to safe drinking water is only one part of the challenge facing the Talek community. Water quality, plastic waste, sanitation and hygiene are interconnected issues that require a long-term and sustainable response.
Safe Drinking Water
Local boreholes provide water, but high salinity levels make it unsuitable for drinking.
Dependence on Bottled Water
Safe drinking water is transported from Nairobi, making it expensive and difficult to access consistently.
Plastic Waste
Heavy reliance on bottled water generates significant plastic waste that affects public spaces, local wildlife and the surrounding environment.
Health and Hygiene Challenges
Access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene are closely connected to overall health, wellbeing and quality of life.
A Complete WASH Solution
Sustainable change requires more than access to safe drinking water. Our approach combines infrastructure, education, environmental responsibility and community ownership to create long-term impact for the Talek community.
Infrastructure
Providing reliable access to safe drinking water through sustainable treatment and distribution systems designed for remote communities.
Education
Equipping community members with practical knowledge and hygiene awareness that supports healthier daily habits and long-term wellbeing.
Environment
Reducing plastic waste and promoting responsible environmental practices that help protect the local ecosystem.
Community Ownership
Empowering local stakeholders to manage, maintain and sustain the project through training, engagement and local leadership.
Built for Remote Communities

Multi-Stage Filtration
Removes sediment, contaminants and unwanted particles from the water supply before treatment.
UV Sterilization
Uses ultraviolet light to eliminate bacteria and pathogens without the need for chemical additives.
Large-Scale Storage
Provides reliable storage capacity to ensure a consistent supply of safe drinking water.
Solar & Battery Powered
Operates independently of the public electricity grid, making it ideal for remote and off-grid communities.
Filtration & Sterilization Unit
Professional-grade filtration and UV treatment systems work together to ensure safe drinking water quality.
Complete System Installation
Integrated treatment and storage infrastructure designed for reliable operation in remote environments.
