Water Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Program
The major problems that communities grapple with pertaining to WASH include but not limited to long distance between water access, unsatisfactory management of water resources and environment, low quality & quantity of water for both human and livestock consumption as well as limited access to sanitary facilities and waste disposal. The objective of the program is thus to ensure continuous access to sufficient portable water and ensure proper hygiene to the pastoralist communities in greater Marsabit through training and harnessing of various underground and surface water sources.

The broad activities we do implement include;

1. Capacity development of community, water user’s associations/committees, water service providers on water, hygiene and sanitation & early warning systems.
2. Construction and or improvement of water structures e.g. tanks, boreholes, wells etc
3. Conduct water resource mapping, establish and updating database.
4. Water quality testing & improvement
5. Construction of sanitary facilities e.g. latrines.
6. Water trucking.
7. Borehole repair and rehabilitation.
8. Provision of fuel and service parts to boreholes and other water sources.
