Corporates set up Sh1.5 billion fund to improve water supply

Corporate firms last week launched a Sh1.5 billion endowment fund to improve Nairobi’s water supply and boost farmers’ earnings.

The money will go towards conservation efforts to protect Tana River, which feeds Ndakaini Dam that supplies 85 per cent of the capital city’s water. The river benefits farmers in Murang’a, Nyeri and Nyandarua counties.
