Pillar 5

School Based Water Security

School Based Water Security

Water for Learning. Water for Community.

School Based Water Security is Sky Muasya’s long term solution to water shortages in Kathiani. The plan is to drill solar powered boreholes in schools to provide safe, reliable and sustainable water for both learners and the surrounding community.

Sky Muasya believes every school should have a dependable source of clean water because learning should never be interrupted by water shortages.

His plan focuses on five key priorities:

Reliable Water for Schools

Every school should have clean water for drinking, cooking, cleaning and sanitation without depending on water carried by students.

Supporting Learners

Many children spend valuable time fetching water for their homes and schools. School boreholes will reduce this burden and allow learners to focus on their education.

Water for the Community

Each borehole will include public water points constructed outside the school compound, allowing the surrounding community to access clean water without disrupting learning.

Safe and Sustainable Water

Solar powered boreholes will provide a reliable and affordable water supply while schools offer secure locations to protect the infrastructure from vandalism.

Fair Distribution Across Kathiani

Because schools are spread throughout the constituency, this approach will ensure water projects are distributed fairly so that every ward and every community benefits.

Sky Muasya’s vision is simple:

Every school should have water. Every community should have hope.

By investing in school based water security today, Kathiani will build healthier schools, stronger communities and a more secure water future for generations to come.

The Real Problem

  • Many families and schools in Kathiani continue struggling because of water shortage.
  • As population increases, natural springs are becoming overwhelmed and water sources are becoming unreliable.
  • This has led to learning disruption, time wastage, health challenges and hygiene challenges.
  • Students and parents spend hours searching for water instead of focusing on education and development.

Our Commitment

  • Develop solar powered boreholes in schools.
  • Improve water access for schools and nearby communities.
  • Ensure fair distribution of water projects.

Our Plan for Water Security

  • Solar powered boreholes: install boreholes in schools and use solar powered systems for sustainability.
  • Community water access: schools become community water centres and nearby communities also benefit.
  • Project mapping: conduct mapping to avoid duplication and ensure proper use of public resources.

Five Year Rollout Plan

  • 10 boreholes every year.
  • Phased implementation across all wards.
  • Equal development across Kathiani.

What This Will Do

  • Improve learning environment.
  • Reduce burden on families.
  • Improve sanitation and hygiene.
  • Support communities during dry seasons.
  • Water creates dignity and opportunity.

Historical Failure

Since the promulgation of the Kenya 2010 Constitution and the birth of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Act, 2015, very little constituency investment has gone into structured school based water security in Kathiani.

Manifesto Message

No student should suffer because of water.
