Vulnerable communities in Kenya and Rwanda are going to benefit from the rehabilitation of community water infrastructure by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Japan.

In Kenya, the project focuses on Migori county through the construction of community water reservoirs (water pans) to store excess water which would otherwise cause flooding, destroy roads, farms and settlements in the lowlands.
