Project Description Region: Africa Country: Kenya Location: Machakos Total Budget: $33,000 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene View Online Proposal Form Machakos County, located south and southeast of Nairobi, Kenya. Kenya is a drought prone region and there are no local resources for clean water & sanitation. Children must walk many kilometers each day to fetch water before going to school. Girls during their menstrual periods for lack of sanitation do not attend school because there is no water available to wash themselves. Metuma Kamuthanga Village Water Committee and Parent/Teacher Association have selected 10 schools with the most dilapidated and unserviceable latrines and 10 schools with no water. The project will install at each of those schools a rainwater collection tank & 2 latrines/wash basin for girls and 2 latrines/wash basins for boys. Installation should take upwards of 1 year to complete the entire project.
