Ololo Dam Desilting and Rehabilitation
(KES 1.15 million)

In 2023, I&M Foundation and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) embarked on a desilting and rehabilitation project in the Nairobi National Park’s Southwestern Area. The project was financed by the I&M Foundation with Ganatra Plant & Equipment donating a JCB excavator to facilitate the exercise. Following a protracted drought in 2023, the previously seasonal waterhole dried up completely, giving rise to the threat of human-wildlife conflict as the animals sought water outside of the park.
