Through the MWA-USAID funding, World Vision has improved access to safe water to about 30, 000 people (including women and children) in Mtito Andei Division, Kibwezi District, Makueni County, Eastern Province in Kenya. This has been achieved through 35km pipeline extensions, six 50m³ water storage tanks, seven 100m³ water storage tanks, 15 water Kiosks (selling points) and two cattle troughs.

The water projects extensions to the community, have enhanced promotion of multiple uses of the water to include domestic purposes, livestock purposes, kitchen gardening, and environmental conservation. Water has been linked to food security through small kitchen gardens at household level, micro irrigation (drip) and environmental conservation through establishment of tree nurseries and planting of trees in schools, catchment areas and community.
