" The Millennium Fellowship offers opportunities for growth, skill-building, and leadership development, which will empower me to make a greater impact socially, creating networking opportunities that will help me connect with like-minded individuals, mentors, and professionals that will potentially open doors for future collaborations. Being a Millennium Fellow is going to boost my confidence, motivation, and sense of purpose. By this, it will help me create more awareness in my community on the need for accessing and consuming good clean and safe drinking water. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainable Management of Borehole Water in Muea
With the increase in the number of boreholes that
have been drilled recently in my community, it
has come to my notice that these borehole water
is purposely for drinking, household chores,
farming etc.
This is a concern as to why people just drill and
use this water without properly checking if it is
safe for the various consumptions.
My key objective for this project is to monitor the
water systems, how it is stored, how often it is
cleaned and most importantly take water
samples for testing in the laboratory to check
water pH, to see if there is any trace of unwanted
minerals such as lead, Nitrates, Barium, etc. Also ensuring proper hygiene towards these boreholes and making sure it lasts longer.
