The team of Ruden Water is continuing its endeavours to enable more access to water in the Horn of Africa. Recently, Elizabeth and Helene travelled to Nairobi to meet with NOCK (National Oil Corporation of Kenya) and the Ministry of Water of Kenya, to discuss the progress within our partnership in Kenya.

They then continued on to Mogadishu, Somalia, to meet with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources of Somalia, and the Norwegian Embassy, to define the continuation of the Somalia Deep Groundwater Project.
