About WASH Alliance Kenya

WASH Alliance Kenya is part of a global movement supported by the WASH Alliance International to improve access to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) for everyone.

WASH Alliance Kenya aims to stimulate linkages and strategic partnerships among state and non-state WASH actors in enhancing their response towards WASH needs of poor and vulnerable Kenyans. We harness the energy and expertise of communities, NGOs, the national government, local governments, international organizations, and the private sector to sustainable WASH solutions. Together with our member organizations, we advocate for change and facilitate local solutions for the millions of people who lack access to sustainable WASH solutions.

We support institutions and form coalitions to accelerate access to WASH for all. We work directly with government agencies to strengthen national WASH programs, and we help ensure that government policies promote equity and inclusion in WASH.

. Our programmes and partnerships address gender inequality, disability, and social exclusion in the WASH sector, and beyond. Specific attention goes to the needs of women and adolescent girls. Menstrual hygiene management is a key part of our programming, aimed at breaking the silence around menstruation nationally while ensuring changes in policies.

Moving forward, our main priority remains working with the government, communities, and development partners to improve and accelerate the livelihoods and health of the most vulnerable members in Kenya. To effectively scale up our work and accelerate access to WASH in Kenya, we continue replicating and learning from our previous programmes while making use of economies of scale.
