Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

Many communities in Kenya’s arid and semi-arid regions remain underdeveloped, with limited access to essential services such as clean water, electricity, healthcare, and proper sanitation. These challenges have far-reaching impacts on health, education, and overall quality of life.

The burden of water scarcity falls disproportionately on women and girls, who often walk long distances to fetch water. This daily task is time-consuming, physically demanding, and can lead to long-term health issues from carrying heavy loads.

Inadequate sanitation facilities—especially in schools—affect all children, but adolescent girls are particularly impacted. Many are forced to miss school during menstruation due to a lack of safe, private, and hygienic facilities, which disrupts their education and confidence.

Limited access to healthcare services further compounds these challenges. Preventable illnesses and complications continue to claim lives due to the absence of nearby, well-equipped health facilities.

Why WASH Matters

Improved access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene brings transformative benefits, including:

• Better health and reduced disease
• Time and energy savings
• Increased school attendance, especially for girls
• Greater opportunities for education and economic participation
