In an exciting development, we are proud to announce the commencement of our operations in Litare, a picturesque community nestled within the Kamasengre sub-location of Mbita Sub County in Homa Bay County. This vibrant hub officially became a part of our network on September 18, 2023, marking a significant milestone in our mission to make clean energy and safe water accessible and affordable.
Litare, with its population of approximately 3,000 people, will now have access to these essential resources, ensuring the well-being and health of its residents. We firmly believe that access to clean water is a fundamental human right, and we are delighted to extend this privilege to the people of Litare.
But that’s not all – our operations in Litare encompass more than just water access. We recognize the critical role that fishing plays in the livelihoods of local fishermen. To support their fishing practices, we will be leasing our eco-friendly fishing lanterns and offering eco-friendly fishing floaters for sale. By providing these tools, we aim to promote responsible fishing practices that protect the delicate aquatic ecosystem.
The warm welcome we’ve received from the Litare community has been nothing short of inspiring. The support and enthusiasm we’ve encountered in our first week of operations have fueled our commitment to making a positive impact in this beautiful region.
As part of our commitment to accessibility, Litare now boasts two water ATMs. One is conveniently located at our Litare hub, while the other can be found at Nyamalungu, ensuring that clean and safe water is never too far away. We are passionate about making clean and safe water, as well as clean energy, affordable and accessible to local communities.
Speaking of clean energy, WeTu is proud to be a champion of sustainable power solutions. In line with our commitment to eco-friendliness, our Litare hub, like our other hubs, relies on solar energy for illumination. This eco-conscious approach not only reduces our carbon footprint but also exemplifies our dedication to sustainable practices.
We invite you to stay tuned for the official launch date of the Litare hub. We anticipate that it will be a momentous occasion, and we look forward to celebrating with the Litare community as we continue our journey toward a cleaner, greener, and more equitable future. With Litare joining our ranks, we take another step forward in fulfilling this mission, one sustainable initiative at a time.
