Water scarcity in these areas of Makueni, Machakos,Kitui and the eastern and northern parts of kenya is alarming. People go as far as 20 kilometers in search of the scarce commodity.
The organization has so far helped ( both by itself and by the help of other partner organizations) construct earth dams and sink 2 wells in kaiti constituency. This development is way below the expected outcome by the community given the population of the area and the quantity of water produced. More earth dams and boreholes are needed.
We ensure clean water for drinking in each of the 200 partner schools by distributing one large water tank per school for drinking water, three small water tanks for hand-washing, and free WaterGuard each term.
Joshua Kimilu Foundation WASH team regularly monitors all tanks distributed to schools and in the community. Any tank found to be faulty is repaired by the facility. Additionally, Joshua Kimilu Foundation team monitors to ensure that the tanks have water, they have been cleaned regularly, and soap is present for handwashing.
At each monitoring visit, Joshua Kimilu Foundation conducts health education on WASH topics to students, teachers, and/or health club members.
Even before COVID-19, Joshua Kimilu Foundation ensured there were four hand-washing stations in every partner school. The handwashing stations include a 70-liter tank, a stand, and soap for handwashing. Joshua Kimilu Foundation delivers soap to all partner schools twice per term.
Ensuring better life of people by ensuring sustainable economic development, good governance and gender equality and equity.
