Over half the schools in the developing world lack access to clean drinking water and sanitation. You can help change that by choosing a partner school in Kenya. Investigate the global water crisis, and take action by planning and implementing an activity that will raise funds to bring water, sanitation and hygiene education to a school that desperately needs your help.
Kenya is located in East Africa. It is bordered by Somalia to the Northeast, Ethiopia to the North and South Sudan to the northwest, Uganda to the west and Tanzania to the south. The capital city is Nairobi, and Kenya contains numerous wildlife reserves that are a draw for tourism. The country is named after Mount Kenya, the second highest peak in Africa. The British Empire established the East African Protectorate in 1895, and The Independent Republic of Kenya was founded in December, 1963.
Kenya produces renowned coffee and tea, and has become a major exporter of fresh flowers to Europe. Kenya has produced champion marathon runners and also has created a presence in the telecommunications sector.
Most rural areas in Kenya do not have access to adequate water and sanitation. In recent years, most of East Africa, including Kenya, has been experiencing drought conditions. In rural areas, lack of access to safe water and toilets is a problem for schools and school children. Your schools can help a school in need receive USAFI Schools project.
Hope Kenya in collaboration with local health official and public health officers will work with your organization or school to help providing USAFI Schools projects to schools in Kenya. Rainwater catchment, latrines and hand-washing stations will be provided for schools
