@OronJoshua today commissioned the Xaverian Schools and Community Water Project in Kisumu Central Constituency, Kisumu County.
The project, implemented by @LBDAgov, is expected to yield 𝟔,𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬 per hour and will benefit over 𝟒𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 and 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 in the neighbourhood.
The project which is solarized, is expected to tap into the government's continued agenda on green energy migration, an opportunity for the area to have improved hygiene, enhanced academic performance and reduced social challenges which are fundamental human rights.

Every tree sequesters carbon. Every wetland sustains a community. Every species restored is a future secured.
At LBDA, we don't just manage the basin — we breathe life back into it.
Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay 2026!

Today, I joined the DCC Rachuonyo West in Homabay County Ms.Jacinter Ogada, and the people of Karachuonyo in celebrating Madaraka Day under the theme “Education, Skills and the Future.”

As LBDA, we remain committed to transforming communities through investments in water, agriculture, education, and livelihood enhancement. Through projects such as the Kimira-Oluch Rice and Sunflower Programme and several schools and community water projects across Karachuonyo, we are creating opportunities, improving livelihoods, and empowering our people for a sustainable future.

Together, we will continue building resilient communities and unlocking the full potential of our region.
