A Sh288.6 million irrigation project has freed more than 700 Uasin Gishu households from relying on rainfall for their livelihoods.

The government-funded Lower Sabor Irrigation Scheme in Moiben Constituency has brought 280 acres under irrigation, allowing farmers to grow crops throughout the year and reduce losses linked to changing weather patterns.

The project directly benefits more than 700 households while creating economic opportunities for about 3,000 other people through activities along the agricultural value chain.
