The World largest fresh water lake, LAKE VICTORIA is completely affected by water hyacinth,papyrus,hippo grass,other aquatic plants and surprisingly alfalfa grass has found its way to the water body affecting thousands of people who depend on the lake for a living.
The weeds has contributed to Prostitution in the area and hence high cases of HIV and Aids.
However all is not lost. HYAQUIP, a Kenyan based company has come up with excellent measures to restore the lake, saving lives and sources of income to fishermen, and those who depend on the lake to earn a living.
The Company that is headed by Simon Mwaura is seeking KSH 9.876Billion, equivalent to US$98.76Million from National Government, County Governments, NGO's ,charitable organizations, UN agencies, Agricultural supporting development agencies in sustainable development,institutions, individuals to finance the pilot program by the processing of liquid and granular/ powder organic fertilizers and offered to the farmers across the COUNTRY at a minimum cost.
If the Government could assist the Company, Mwaura says Hyacinth, papyrus and alfalfa will be a thing of the past.
Mwaura told KK online News that due the such weeds Kenyan Government has been loosing close to 10 billion per year.
The support and your contribution will greatly improve the living standards of the affected communities. The contribution can be made through PAY BILL, WIRE TRANSFER OR CHECK. SIMON NJOROGE MWAURA. Email: SIMON.NJOROGE.MWAURA,@HYAQUIPINC.COM
