Safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is the basis for people living a dignified life but in most of Kenyan Townships, rural areas and informal settlements as authorities have failed to provide a plan for poorer families to access this basic service. The hygiene of families is compromised due to the dense populations and most families are forced to use communal toilets and taps.

The outbreak of COVID19 which highlighted the disparities in basic water sanitation & hygiene and how it affected the communities in which we operate in let us look at how we can address this problem as it had a negative impact especially on the girl child.

WASH 4Sport program uses sport as a vehicle to effect hygiene behaviour change, connecting and empowering women and girls in marginalized communities in and changing lives for the better.

The solution to this that through partners such as Coaches Across Continents(USA) & WASH UNITED (GER) we use sport based interactive games especially using football that use the power of play and fun to educate children and change behaviour around difficult issues of sanitation and hygiene.
