Senator Sifuna In Kibera For Ariel Water Launch

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, together with Dr. Ken Odede and other local leaders, officially launched the Ariel-piped clean water in Makina village of Kibera.
The clean water is expected to be easily affordable to all the Kibera residents and ease the burden of having to walk long distance in search of clean water.

“We are currently serving over 40,000 people with clean water, and looking forward to serve over 100,000 people”, says Ken Odede.

Shofco chose to do the ariel piping due to poor sanitation on the ground, and underground piping would have required a number of houses be demolished.

“Previously we used to have a lot of water-born diseases. Shofco’s Ariel water helps in reducing the risk of consuming bacteria in water thus reducing water-related illnesses”, says a resident from Kibera.
