Naomi Ketter Chelimo enjoyed her undergraduate studies so much that she felt she should further her knowledge in horticulture, enrolling for an MSc at JKUAT soon after she graduated. “I like the subject because it is very practical and I get to use all of the skills I have learned,” she says, adding that this makes her work easy.
Kenya is a water scarce country because we have not achieved the global benchmark of water use per person. The country is at 647 cubic meters per person per year, as opposed to 1,000 cubic meters.
Field of Research
