Kirinyaga County's innovative eWATER model for providing safe and affordable rural water has attracted international attention, with a delegation from the World Bank and Mozambique visiting to learn from its success.

• The eWATER partnership has delivered 177 community smart taps and 83 household connections, serving approximately 17,000 people in Gathigiriri Ward.
• Key individuals involved include County Executive Committee Member for Environment Kinyua Mutugi, Governor Anne Waiguru, and World Bank representatives Chantul Richey and Caudina Bebane.
• Residents now access treated water at an affordable rate of Sh5 for a 20-litre jerrycan, a significant improvement from previously unsafe canal water.
