In a bid to address the recurring flood disasters that displace thousands of residents in Kisumu and Homa Bay counties, a charity has rolled out a ground-breaking initiative that could provide lasting relief to vulnerable communities.
Shining Hope for Communities (Shofco) has constructed 46 water pans to tackle the challenges posed by flash floods in the flood-prone areas. They are distributed in the most affected regions, including Seme, Nyando, Muhoroni and Nyakach in Kisumu, and Karachuonyo, Kabondo Kasipul and Kasipul sub counties in Homa Bay County.
