520 _a"Life in the village of Kathamba, located 250 kilometres east of Nairobi, has changed, remarkably. Kathamba is no longer a typical rural outpost, where such services as water and electricity are hard to come by. Blaring music, a chain of salons and barbershops are now common features in this dusty village, where agriculture is the villagers' mainstay." (APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY) This article profiles the Kirinyaga Pico-power Scheme, a project in which "residents of Kathamba are among the first beneficiaries of hydro-electricity generated from rivers and streams."
