Kiangombe

Kiangombe is located 4km east of Kerugoya town. Within this area lies a small village called Kibai which straddles the Mukengeria river.

At one of the small waterfalls, UNIDO in conjuction with the local community and the Ministry of Energy have put up a microhydro power generation facility that produces about 2KW of electric power.

This power is taken to an energy kiosk where the energy is used to run various services that serve the community e.g. recharging LED lamps and ICT services

We recently had to reconstruct a more robust dam at this site after the previous one was swept away by rain. It should resume operation by February 2008
