Quick Project highlights
Project Overview
Led by Flamingo Lakes Conservation Network (FlamingoNet), this 24-month initiative aims to enhance access to clean, affordable water in Nakuru’s informal settlements— Kaptembwa and Rhonda. With a budget of KES 5.75 million, the project promotes climate-resilient, inclusive water management, aligned with Nakuru County’s development plans and SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation)
The Problem
Nakuru faces a 40,000-liter daily water supply deficit, worsened by aging infrastructure, illegal connections, and unreliable service. Only 6% of residents in Kaptembwa and Rhonda have household water connections, while the rest rely on costly and unsafe communal sources. This leads to public health risks, gender-based vulnerabilities, and educational disruption for children tasked with fetching water.
Project Overview
A problem which comes as a result of Wote Municipality in Makueni County generating nearly 18 tonnes of solid waste every day, much of it non-biodegra- dable plastics and glass. Yet, there is no proper system in place to sort, recycle, or safely dispose of this waste. This leads to pollution, disease, and lost economic opportuni- ties—especially for women and youth who are often left out of environmental and economic solutions.
The Aproach
The Jimbo Taka Project, led by Jumuisha Initiative CBO, aims to empower 200 women and youthin Wote by training them in waste collection, sorting, and creative recycling. By turning waste like glass and plastic into marketable products, we are tackling environmental pollution while creating jobs and incomefor the community.

Project Overview
The project, led by Emali Dedicated Children’s Agency (EDCA), aims to improve access to safe, affordable drinking water in Emali town, Makueni County. It targets informal settlements and promotes youth and women empowerment through sustainable water management. Running for 18 months with a budget of KES 4.77 million, it supports SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)
The Problem
Access to clean water in Emali is limited and costly, forcing families—especially women and youth—to rely on informal, unreliable sources like boreholes and seasonal rivers. These conditions endanger public health and offer few opportunities for decent work. Women and youth are underrepresented in water governance structures, limiting their ability to influence sustainable solutions

Project Overview
Simba Kogelo Water Development Group is implementing a 30-month projectin Nyalenda B, Kisumu City, aiming to improve Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services for underserved populations. With a budget of KES 4.58 million, the initiative promotes inclusive service delivery through infrastructure upgrades, social enterprise, climate adaptation, and enhanced governance—especially for women, youth, and marginalized communities.
The Problem
Nyalenda B is a low-income informal settlement where residents face poor access to clean water, inadequate sanitation, and systemic exclusion from decision-making. Dilapidated infrastructure, theft, and high poverty levels discourage investment from service providers. This has left vulnerable populations—especially women and youth— struggling to access basic WASH services, worsening health risks and inequality.
