#ImprovingLives

Giving back to local communities has been a commitment of Davis & Shirtliff since its founding in 1946...

St. Georges Primary School is in Uasin Gishu county, Kapseret constituency. It was started in 1988 and the current population is 509 pupils which include those with special needs. It is a public school that has both boarding and day schooling.

Their borehole was drilled and equipped by The Rotary Club of Uasin Gishu. They have been having challenges in settling their electricity bills which averaged at KES. 30,000 monthly and a higher percentage of the bill was attributed to the borehole pump. This is what prompted them to approach Davis & Shirtliff for CSR support through their chairman Dr. Gilbert Bor. They have an SP3A-25 borehole pump that supports the primary school, secondary school, and their sponsor church. Davis & Shirtliff Eldoret, through the #ImprovingLives Initiative, installed a solar system to power the borehole pump which comprised of a Dayliff 3.7kW controller, an array of 14 * 200W solar panels, and other accessories. The donation and installation was fully sponsored by the initiative. The school is delighted with the project, as expressed by the headteacher Madam Susan Rono, and now looks forward to channeling the expected savings to other critical functions.
