Water & Sanitation
Overview
Access to clean water and proper sanitation is a basic human right. Kamiel Group of Kenya is addressing this critical need in Langas Slums through community-led borehole projects, toilet construction, and hygiene education.
These interventions promote good health, school attendance, and protection—especially for girls.
