Innovate 4 Water
​
Water is our basic necessity. If we work as a team, we can invent ways in which we can all preserve water to meet the needs of our basic consumption in our homes ,hotels, restaurants and more. Through iSTART Inventing! we encourage all the young inventors to come up with innovative ideas that can impact and improve our water management system.
The government of Kenya organised "Innovate 4 Water" a Forum for Sustainable Development. Click below to see more on "Innovate 4 Water."
