Kenya Water for Health Organization (KWAHO) is a national non-governmental organization founded in 1976 to implement Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH). KWAHO is widely recognized as the first indigenous, Kenyan NGO at the community level specifically dealing with water and sanitation. KWAHO’s major goal from inception has been to improve the health of the marginalized communities/groups including institutions, through increased access to safe water, improved sanitation, hygiene promotion, capacity building of community structures in general management of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities for sustainable development. Additionally, KWAHO acknowledges and incorporates the human rights-based approach (HRBA) programming in the overall implementation of her projects and programs. As an organization, KWAHO strive to make people’s human rights a reality by upholding the internationally agreed norms, values and standards. KWAHO recognize individuals as key actors in their own development, rather than passive recipients of commodities and services, by identifying rights-holders and duty-bearers and placing more responsibility on all involved to ope-rationalize the goals of the development and cooperation.
