Campaigns against cholera have gained momentum after the Migori county government set out to distribute water tanks to more than 100 schools.

Some 40,000 students now have a reason to smile after the county government spent Sh16 million to purchase and distribute 200 water tanks to provide clean water and reduce cases of waterborne diseases.
