ACTIVITIES
In the last six years of its existence, PISP has been a leader in the provision of community- managed small- scale water supplies in the district. The organization had piloted and introduced to the area appropriate technologies for harvesting rainwater in the areas that lack reliable water points. PISP had built 36 rain harvesting water tanks and 24 sand dams, rehabilitated 58 shallow wells in North-Horr and Maikona divisions. The community water tanks were built at strategic places to allow the pastoralists to access them without abandoning their nomadic existence by moving to permanent water points at the height of the dry season.
During the period, PISP had also engaged in two emergency interventions. In 1997, through an emergency assistance funding from USAID and DPIRP, the organization repaired six boreholes, provided diesel and other consumables for its running. Water bowsers were also provided to the areas that lack reliable water points. Similar emergency services were again provided by PISP in 2000. The emergency intervention was funded by CORDAID.
