Kajiado County: Thirst in the Dust of Kilimanjaro

Community Voices in Decision-Making Processes

The Entarara community of Oloitokok, Kajiado County, draws water from shallow wells, streams, seasonal rivers and the Entarara Water Project, a water harvesting and storage initiative. People here keep livestock and also engage in farming by irrigation.
