WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE

We deliver clean water and safe sanitation to transform health, education, and dignity—especially for women and children. Our work includes borehole drilling, gender-sensitive latrine construction, menstrual hygiene support, and hygiene promotion in schools and communities.

Restoring Dignity and Health

In Kenya, over 28 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and 41 million lack improved sanitation. That means nearly 60% of the population does not have clean water, and 80% lacks basic toilets. The burden falls disproportionately on women and children in rural areas—who spend hours fetching water, miss school, and face increased risks of waterborne diseases.

At STADA, we believe clean water is a human right and a catalyst for health, dignity, education, and gender equality. Our WASH programs prioritize sustainable, community-driven solutions that reach the most marginalized.

Our WASH Interventions

  • Borehole Drilling & Repairs
    We ensure consistent access to safe water through new boreholes and the rehabilitation of broken water points.
  • Gender-Sensitive Sanitation Facilities
    We build safe, inclusive latrines and handwashing stations in schools and public spaces, promoting hygiene and dignity—especially for women and girls.
  • Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM)
    We distribute reusable sanitary pads, deliver menstrual health education, and work to end stigma so girls can stay in school and thrive.
  • Hygiene Promotion
    We run community sessions and school workshops on handwashing, water safety, and environmental hygiene to prevent disease.
  • Emergency WASH in Crisis Settings
    We respond rapidly in emergencies with hygiene kits, water treatment supplies, and mobile toilets to protect displaced families.
  • Community Engagement and Sustainability
    We train and equip WASH committees to lead and maintain infrastructure, ensuring local ownership and long-term impact.

The Impact of Access to Clean Water

Focus Area

Impact

Health

– Waterborne diseases kill more people annually than all violence combined.
– Children under five are 20x more likely to die from unsafe water than from conflict.

Time

– Women and girls spend 200 million hours daily collecting water.
– Clean water allows more time for farming, school, and income generation.

Education

– Access to water and sanitation keeps children, especially girls, in school.
– MHM support and fewer water chores reduce absenteeism.

Women’s Empowerment

– In 80% of homes without water access, women and girls do the collection.
– Clean water frees them to pursue education, start businesses, and lead change.
