Community Micro Hydro Power project (Part II)
In this project ITDG will backstop a community in Chuka to distribute the electricity made in phase I of the project by installing a generatorm, constructing a power line and distributing the power in a community industrial park. The community will also use the same power to pump water to a central place and then reticulate it to their houses. The project is expected to reach a core group of 200 households but will eventually serve a total of about 10,000 people.
