A government irrigation project at Kapkoi Primary School in West Pokot County is supplying water to two schools and supporting year-round food production through greenhouse farming.
Irrigation Principal Secretary Ephantus Kimotho on Friday commissioned the Micro Irrigation for Schools Programme at the school, introducing a solar-powered borehole, drip-irrigated greenhouses and a community water kiosk.
The project also includes a submersible pump, a 12-metre elevated water storage tank, a school water point with eight taps and a community water kiosk with four taps.
