DRY PIPES, EMPTY PANS: THE REALITY OF FARMING IN LAIKIPIA NORTH

In the heart of Gakoe Village, Laikipia North, a quiet crisis is unfolding. While the landscape is beautiful, the ground is thirsty. In this video, we sit down with a local farmer to discuss the dual struggle of erratic weather and a failing water pipe infrastructure that has left many shambas dry. We explore the reality of "last mile" water connectivity and why community pipes often fail when they are needed most. You’ll see firsthand how farmers are fighting back by investing in water pans with dam liners—a vital technology to prevent seepage and conserve every drop of rain. We also discuss the future of Gakoe: from planting drought-resistant trees to adopting climate-smart harvesting techniques. What we cover in this video: The impact of water pipe breakages on village life. Why dam liners are essential for farming in semi-arid Laikipia. Solutions for the future: Tree planting and sustainable harvests. A farmer’s direct message to the community and local government. If you are a farmer in an ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Land) region or interested in water conservation in Kenya, this video is for you.
