Water & Sanitation
The lack of adequate WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) services negatively impacts the well-being and productivity of Kenya’s growing population; WASH-related diseases and associated conditions (e.g., anemia, dehydration and malnutrition are the top causes of under-five hospitalization and mortality, and over 50% of hospital visits in Kenya stem from water, sanitation and hygiene-related illnesses.
