The projects are located in and around Kitui and Makueni, two hour's outside Nairobi. The VNR "Water is life" profiles projects managed by two NGOs, AMREF and the German Red Cross, whose innovative technical approach to increasing access to safe water and hygienic sanitation facilities in rural Kenya is a crucial part of the EU's response to the perennial challenge of bringing water to those most in need. To illustrate this, the report shows exactly how, in contrast to previous initiatives, the local community is actively engaged in taking ownership of different water and sanitation projects at various key stages. We film and speak with the beneficiaries involved as they raise capital…undergo training in the construction and maintenance of wells, dams, boreholes, pumps... take responsibility for the on-going management of projects at community leve... and are educated in their schools and homes in simple, effective sanitation initiatives.
