We believe access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is fundamental to health, education, and economic growth. Across Kenya, #Amref implements transformative WASH programs that leave lasting impacts in communities, schools, and healthcare facilities. Here’s how we make it happen: 1⃣: Building Lifesaving WASH Infrastructure. We develop sustainable and inclusive solutions that meet the unique needs of every community, including; 🔹 Solar-powered boreholes providing clean water in arid regions. 🔹 Spring protection and pipeline extensions delivering safe water closer to homes. 🔹 Inclusive sanitation units and handwashing facilities in schools and healthcare facilities, ensuring no one is left behind. #WorldToiletDay2024 #AmrefWASHImpact #AfyaBora #Amref4PHC @Demunai @EdwardMukanda @MuteyianViola @shiku_m @DanielKurao @lengewaSMoses @Watukamary @itsjoshuafavour @KinyuaDoug61730

2⃣: Promoting Behavior Change for Sustainable Hygiene Practices We empower communities to adopt healthier habits through proven Behavior Change Communication (BCC) approaches such as: 🔹 Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS): Empowering communities to eliminate open defecation. 🔹 WASH in Schools (WinS): Educating children to champion hygiene, including School-Led Total Sanitation and Hygiene (SLTSH). #WorldToiletDay2024 #AmrefWASImpact @denmarkinkenya @USAIDKenya @UNICEFKenya

3⃣Enhancing Sanitation Monitoring: We complement government efforts by delivering actionable insights reflecting the tangible gains in our intervention areas. Digitising CLTS Forms A and B has transformed how government officials and project staff track and update household sanitation progress enabling: ✅ Accurate and Timely Monitoring: Real-time data synchronisation across the forms enables swift updates, ensuring precise tracking of sanitation milestones. ✅ Enhanced Decision-Making: A dynamic, real-time sanitation dashboard allows stakeholders to visualise progress, identify gaps, and drive targeted interventions. ✅ Eliminating Bottlenecks: By moving away from physical forms, we’ve overcome the challenges of data loss and inefficiency, paving the way for streamlined operations and impactful outcomes.

Through the 100% WASH project funded by Well:Fair Foundation, in collaboration with H.E. @OleNtutuK, Governor, @NarokCountyGvt, we co-commissioned the Oloolaimutia Comprehensive School and Community WASH Project at Oloolaimutia Comprehensive School, Narok West Sub-county. The project includes a solar-powered borehole, a community water kiosk, storage tanks, and 36 modern latrines for boys, girls, and teachers, equipped with shower cubicles and handwashing facilities. Additionally, clean and safe drinking water points have been installed at the school compound. The WASH project aims to reduce diarrhea and other WASH-related diseases in schools and communities, and to improve educational outcomes by ensuring high WASH standards. This initiative benefits 1261 learners at Oloolaimutia Comprehensive School, as well as 37 other schools and catchment communities in Narok West and Transmara West. Currently, over 17000 learners and approximately 65,000 community members have gained access to safe water and sanitation. #AmrefWASHImpact @SuboticStiftung @NSubotic4 @martinmuchangi @DanielKurao @DeMunai @lengewaSMoses @MuteyianViola
