Boreholes
Accessibility to clean water is a major challenge to many staying in the rural areas of Kenya. The Ramgarhia Youth Association periodically commissions boreholes in the arid areas in Kenya by partnering with many International and Local institutions. By doing so, this positively impacts the socio-economic factors of the area and surroundings. The associations receives several requests for boreholes, and after conducting due diligence and surveys, only then are the boreholes commissioned.
