Clean Water in Africa charity: Success Stories

Kongowea story

Briefly, by 2013, when Water and Development (Maji na Ufanisi) started its WASH intervention in the Kongowea public market, the situation was simply a nightmare.

The market was dirty, with dilapidated water and sanitation facilities.

Occurrences of water and vector diseases was very common. Indeed, the stench emanating from these blocked sanitation facilities could be smelt 100 metres away.

Over 10,000 people have benefited from improved WASH services and 100 women and youth have directly benefited from employment from these public sanitation facilities.

After Intervention

WASHEM Impact

The clean water in Africa Charity first piloted the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Enterprise Model (WASHEM) in Mombasa County’s Kongowea market, where 60 public toilets were rehabilitated.

The facilities were redesigned to be disability friendly and handed to youth groups for management.

The youths were trained on basic business skills. Currently, each facility generates enough revenue to cater for maintenance and staff salaries.

Over 10,000 people have benefited from improved WASH services and 100 women and youth have directly benefited from employment from these public sanitation facilities.

In May 2021, MnU’s project in Kongowea public market was rated first out of over 900 projects that had been competing for an international award that was given by AMCOW (African Ministers’ Council on Water) and UNICEF.
