The core business of KDO has been and remains to be Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). KDO has made a tremendous commitment and contribution to enhancing efforts to improve access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities to displaced families (IDPs) and vulnerable households by National and County governments.
KDO has utilized diverse methods and approaches, including working directly with communities, institutions such as schools and health facilities as well as corporation with other key actors, in orders to address water, sanitation and hygiene related challenges in many parts of Kenya and Somalia.
Over the past two decades, we have managed to reach out to more 400,000 community members with improved water supply infrastructure through borehole rehabilitation, construction of storage tanks and reticulation systems, installation of hybrid solar systems and gen-sets to borehole as well as emergency water supply to vulnerable households and their livestock. Other interventions such as construction of gender sensitive latrines, distribution of hygiene items, hygiene information and education was carried out at various parts across these countries.
