Omexom is assisting in the provision of safe drinking water in Kenya

Omexom Hochspannung GmbH has extended its support for Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V.*, an independent, non-profit development cooperation organization whose goal is to ensure that all people have access to basic infrastructure and may thereby live a decent existence. The activity of the organization focuses on water, power, and sanitation.

Omexom Hochspannung has given a €2,500 check to Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. to support a sustainable management project in Munyu, Kenya.

The organization is collaborating with a project partner, Munyu e.V., on a water and electricity supply plan for Maria Magdalena Special School (MMSS) and Maria Magdalena Sheltered Workshop (MMSW), both of which serve disabled persons. The two facilities are in the municipality of Munyu, close to Nairobi.

Water availability becomes constrained due to rapid population expansion and fewer or even “failed” rainy seasons. As a result, people are increasingly reliant on groundwater, with uncontrolled infiltration of wastewater endangering well water quality and providing a health concern.

Like Comsip, Omexom is a part of the VINCI Energies Group. Omexom’s solution targets those who produce, transform and transport electricity, including local authorities.
