37 OCTOBER 2026 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Water for Kenya Adapted from Information by DuPont DuPont, with their long-time partner and international charity ChildFund, celebrated the commissioning of a new multitech water treatment plant in Baringo, Kenya, giving families in the rural community of Kampi Ya Samaki their first reliable source of clean, healthy drinking water. This new water treatment plant uses donated ultrafiltration modules, reverse osmosis elements, and technical expertise to remove fluoride and other contaminants to produce a reliable source of drinking water. Alex Lane, Regional Commercial Director for DuPont Water Solutions in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa said, “Our collaboration with ChildFund shows what’s possible, when advanced water treatment technologies are paired with deep technical expertise and applied with purpose. We’re proud to continue our work with ChildFund bringing our water treatment expertise to projects that deliver lasting community benefit. Working side-by-side, we can design and deploy solutions that are robust, locally appropriate, and built to endure.” Previously, the community’s residents relied on untreated water from Lake Baringo for drinking. However, the fluoride concentrations in the lake have for a long time surpassed World Health Organization safety limits, creating a serious public health risk across generations with an elevated risk of skeletal fluorosis. In addition to directly serving Kampi Ya Samaki, the project is expected to benefit up to 20,000 people through an expanded distribution network supplying 1500 households, 3 schools, and a health facility. Alex Mucheru, who led the project for DuPont Water Solutions said, “Beyond delivering safe drinking water, the project is expected to unlock broad social and economic gains from better health outcomes and reduced medical costs to stronger school attendance especially for women and girls. Together with ChildFund, we are deploying proven purification technologies that are robust, scalable, and right‑sized for the communities they serve. This project delivers a replicable approach that can be deployed quickly to help more communities gain access to clean, healthy drinking water.” The Kampi Ya Samaki project was completed with the help of the County Government of Baringo, the Central Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency, Davis & Shirtliff, Hand in Hand Eastern Africa, and the Central Rift Community Development Program - allowing for alignment with public health priorities and longterm water planning. Erin Kennedy of ChildFund said, “Partnering is central to delivering solutions at this scale. In Baringo, we are seeing what coordinated investment and shared expertise can achieve, turning a long-standing public health challenge into a practical, community-driven solution that will serve families for years to come.” Together, DuPont Water Solutions, ChildFund, and other supporters have developed scalable solutions to deliver safe, reliable sources of drinking water for communities across Kenya and Zambia. Terramac’s crawler carriers have the advantage of rubber track technology to disperse the machine’s weight over a wide area, providing the low ground pressure necessary to travel across difficult terrain. The carriers can move through loose or wet ground conditions without getting stuck, and also have superior traction for climbing steep, rugged areas. The rotating crawler carrier option is built with upper frames that rotate a full 360 degrees for precise, efficient, and safe maneuvering in the most difficult environments. The cab and bed rotates, leaving the operator safely sitting face forward, while the intuitive forward direction control makes it easy to move without tearing up the ground. Environmental applications for crawler carriers include site remediation, erosion control, right-of-way maintenance, wetland restoration, bank stabilization, and dam repairs. With a variety of sizes, rotational capabilities, and even extended frame options, Terramac’s crawler carriers are ready to go anywhere and do anything.
