We deliver clean water and safe sanitation to transform health, education, and dignity—especially for women and children. Through sustainable, community-led WASH solutions, we reduce disease, keep girls in school, and free women from the daily burden of water collection.
In Kenya, over 28 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and 41 million lack improved sanitation. Nearly 60% of the population lives without clean water, while 80% lack basic toilets. This crisis disproportionately affects women and children who walk long distances to fetch water, miss school, and face preventable disease every day. At STADA, we believe clean water is a human right and a foundation for health, education, and gender equality. Our WASH programs prioritize sustainable, locally owned solutions that reach the most marginalized communities.
Borehole Drilling and Repairs
We expand access to safe water through new boreholes and the rehabilitation of broken water points ensuring reliable supply for households, schools, and health facilities.
