2. INTRODUCTION
Water Sanitation and Hygiene
(WASH) program is a USAID-
funded initiative to provide safe
water, improved sanitation, and
hygiene education to areas of
rural Kenya affected by drought
and climate change. It seeks to
reduce water-borne illness,
promote integrated water
resource management to
improve livelihoods, and
develop partnerships with
communities for improved
sustainability.
The vision of the WASH project
is to be a leading organization in
the provision of consistent supply
of clean, safe and sustainable
water access to the residence of
Nyalenda slums.
WASH exists to promote access
to safe water supply and adequate
sanitation as a major requirement
to ensure healthy living and
ensure social development of the
impoverished residents.
Nyalenda slum is in Kisumu
Town, located in the Kisumu
Town East constituency, Kisumu
County. The area is one of the
largest informal settlements in
Kisumu. 2
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Water shortage has been a major issue in Nyalenda mainly
caused by poor management of water supply,
contamination of the available water and a sharp
increase in water demand resulting from relatively high
population growth.
Despite the critical shortage of clean water in Nyalenda
slum, there is also a large rural to urban discrepancy in
access to clean water.
Many residents living in this area lack access both to clean
water, safe and environmentally sound sanitation
facilities.
Therefore it is for this reason that this WASH project is
designed to address water shortage problems experienced by
the impoverished residents of Nyalenda Slums. 3
4. PROJECT GOALAND
OBJECTIVES
GOAL: To contribute to 50% reduction of water supply shortage among
impoverished residents in
Nyalenda slum by October 2019.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To improve sustainable access to clean water sources by 50% among
impoverished residents in Nyalenda slum by October 2019
2. To reduce contamination of natural water sources by 50% among
impoverished residents in Nyalenda slum by October 2019
PROJECT BENEFICIARIES & DURATION: The project beneficiaries
are Nyalenda residents. The project will take a period of four years
commencing in October 2015 to October 2019. 4
