Every year on November 19th, we recognize #WorldToiletDay to raise awareness of the critical need for safe sanitation.

For women and girls, specifically, the lack of adequate facilities is more than an inconvenience; it’s a barrier to education, employment, and personal safety. Many are forced to spend valuable time searching for private spaces, miss school or work during menstruation, or face the constant risk of harassment or assault.

Access to safe sanitation is a foundational step toward socioeconomic empowerment for women. 🚽

Catherine is a nanny for one of the teachers at Katikit Primary School and lives within the school compound, helping care for the students. She has firsthand experience with the region`s water challenges.

"Water scarcity was so severe that children often went the entire day without drinking water, with some only getting a cup in the evening if circumstances allowed."

A year later, Catherine has witnessed a dramatic improvement in student attendance and overall health all thanks to their access to clean water!

We have AMAZING news!

Located in Laikipia, Kenya, Uasonyiro Primary School faced health, education and agricultural hardships due to having an unsustainable supply of water, until we partnered with them in 2023. Our team implemented a rainwater harvesting system, eliminating need for external water sources and overcoming groundwater limitations.
A year later, and we are proud to announce the student population has grown significantly and another organization is building a new classroom block to accommodate this growth.
