UNHCR staff member talks to a group about the solar powered water pump in the foreground.
In 2018, in the Kalobeyei Settlement Area in Kenya, water was supplied from boreholes and pumped as far as 4km away. To reduce fuel costs the Norwegian Refugee Council (implementing partner for UNHCR's water, sanitation and hygiene programmes) used solar-powered pumps for 6-7 hours daily, saving on fuel costs. Goal 6 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is ‘Ensure access to water and sanitation for all’. Photo: UNEP/Patrick Kihara
