Kenya Water for Health Organization (KWAHO) is a pioneer non-governmental organization committed to transforming lives through sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives, environmental conservation, and community empowerment across Kenya.

Our Story

Founded in 1976, KWAHO has worked across urban and rural communities, improving access to clean water, promoting proper sanitation, and supporting hygiene awareness. Our experience spans decades of impactful partnerships with communities, government institutions, civil society, and international development agencies.

Our Mission

To empower communities to realize their full potential through equitable access to safe water, adequate sanitation, and sustainable development initiatives—especially for marginalized and vulnerable populations.

What We Do

We implement people-centered programs in:

• Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
• Water Resources Management (WRM)
• Gender and Social Inclusion
• Climate Resilience and Environmental Conservation
• Public Participation and Governance in Development

Why It Matters

Access to clean water and safe sanitation is a human right and the foundation of health, dignity, and economic progress. KWAHO’s work bridges gaps in access and elevates community voices—especially those of women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

Our Impact

Over the years, KWAHO has empowered thousands of households through:

• Improved water infrastructure in schools and communities
• Hygiene training and menstrual health education
• Climate-smart innovations like bamboo for WRM and green livelihoods
• Strengthening citizen participation in public policy processes

Looking Ahead

Through partnerships and innovation, we continue expanding our reach and deepening our impact in underserved areas. Our focus remains on local ownership, sustainability, and inclusive growth.
