A borehole that will ensure there is enough water supply is being drilled at the Mwea Technical and Vocational College.
The project that will end in July will ensure the college get enough water supply that will ensure agricultural lessons are held comfortably.
The colleges Principal Jack Nyaga said that the institution will be able to carry out their lessons amicably, since agriculture needs a lot of water.
“When the borehole will be through, the institution will have enough water to carry on agricultural activities, since we offer the courses,” said Nyaga.
The institution has been getting water from Gathigiriri self-help group but it wasn’t enough thus a plea to own a borehole.
“The borehole isn’t just owned by the institution, residents will also get a share from the project,” Nyaga added.
