Literacy And Water Movement‘s, Water Project in Iltilal has made a profound impact on both the local communities and the surrounding wildlife. The installation of boreholes and water wells has provided not only clean water for the people but also a lifeline for the wildlife that shares the land. From lionesses and their cubs to majestic elephants, the project has helped conserve the delicate balance of nature in this remote area of Kenya.
How the Water Project Benefits Wildlife
In Iltilal, wildlife and communities live side by side, often competing for limited water resources. The availability of fresh water from the boreholes has significantly eased this competition. Lionesses and their cubs, for instance, no longer have to venture far in search of water, helping to keep them safe within their natural habitats. The water points have also become vital sources for many other species, ensuring they can stay hydrated and healthy even during the dry seasons.
Elephants Benefit from Free Water Access
Elephants, known for their incredible memory and strong family bonds, have become regular visitors to the water points established through our project. These water sources provide essential hydration for the elephants and reduce human-wildlife conflict by ensuring that elephants do not have to invade farms or villages in search of water. The availability of water for elephants has had a positive impact on their health and well-being, while also protecting local agriculture and livestock.
Impact on the People of Iltilal: Water for All
The Iltilal Water Project has not only transformed the lives of the wildlife but has also greatly improved the quality of life for the local community. By providing clean and reliable water, the project has:
- Reduced water scarcity for over 4,700 people in Iltilal, ensuring that families have easy access to safe drinking water.
- Improved agriculture by allowing farmers to grow crops even during dry spells, leading to better food security.
- Supported education by providing water to local schools, allowing children to focus on their studies without the burden of walking long distances to fetch water.
