Access to clean water has transformed thousands of lives across the Lake Victoria Basin. Through the successful implementation of the Atela Community Water Project, ATN-K has provided safe and reliable drinking water to more than 5,090 people, including households, schools, and community institutions.
The project has significantly reduced waterborne diseases, improved sanitation, increased school attendance, and relieved women and children from the burden of travelling long distances in search of water. It stands as one of ATN-K's most impactful and life-changing initiatives.
ATN-K has empowered farming communities by introducing solar-powered irrigation systems that enable year-round crop production despite changing climate conditions.
Through climate-smart agriculture, farmer training, and renewable energy technologies, households have increased food production, improved nutrition, diversified incomes, and strengthened resilience against drought.
The initiative continues to create sustainable livelihoods while promoting environmentally responsible farming practices.
