Rotary Club of Nakuru-East Polkot Project

Based on the needs assessment of 5 schools in East Pokot there is an obvious and urgent need of WASH programs in the schools. There appears to be an enabling environment for a successful project and high engagement with multiple key stakeholders during the needs assessment. There was a wide range of data collection tools used to ensure accurate representation of needs is being reported. It is recommended that Rotary Club of Nakuru pursue a Global Grant to address the urgent need and select a cooperating organization that is experienced in WASH in schools, has the ability to execute projects in a timely fashion, and has reasonable costs.
