Children will stop being victims to become lifelong ambassadors when they experience properly managed sanitation systems and learn hygienic behaviour at an early age in schools. Our work promotes health, education and holistic child development.

About this project

School Sanitation, Water and Hygiene (WASH) in rural Kenya
Hand of Progress e.V. is a non-profit organization working towards improving water, sanitation and hygiene in schools.

Our commitment:

improve accessibility to sanitation facilities
protect learning spaces from foul latrines
protect the environment from further faecal contamination

Background
We focus on schools because of their vital role in breaking the vicious cycle of diseases that result from poor sanitation, hygiene and water. Covid19 pandemic has worsened the situation in vulnerable schools.

Currently, more than 3000 children in five boarding schools in Kitale and West Pokot, Kenya are waiting for our help. Besides the health challenges, the children have to fetch water far from their schools. This is dangerous and interferes with learning hours.

We support

construction of permanent sanitation structures
digging and storage of fresh water from boreholes and rainwater.
construction of sewage disposal systems
hygiene promotion
operations and maintenance

Which Schools?

Mukuyu Primary (700 children) - ready
Immaculate Girls (350 girls) - ready
Immaculate Boys (500 boys) - ready
Sitatunga Polytechnic (150 youth) - in progress
Ortum Girls (800 girls) - West Pokot - in progress
