When a community gains safe water and sanitation, children stay in school, women reclaim time, families become healthier, and hope becomes something people can build on.
Founded in 1997 and guided by the bold vision “Water for All”—safe water, dignified sanitation, and better hygiene for healthier communities.
Maji na Ufanisi works alongside underserved communities to improve safe water, dignified sanitation, everyday hygiene, menstrual health, climate resilience, disability inclusion, and sustainable development.
We begin by listening. Communities help identify priorities, shape practical solutions, and build the local ownership needed for results to last.
Across water, sanitation, hygiene, menstrual health, climate resilience, and research, our work combines evidence, participation, inclusion, accountability, and sustainability.
Community-led water, sanitation, and hygiene improvements for underserved urban neighbourhoods.

This partnership shows what happens when international experience meets local trust: people who were once overlooked become visible, families gain practical support, and communities begin building systems that include everyone.

These partnerships connect local leadership with learning, inclusion, advocacy, infrastructure, and systems that can continue changing lives.
