Water...Precious than Gold
It is clear that the Kenyan Government in partnership with other stakeholders USAID and UNICEF, has been setting up measures to increase the number of people who have access to clean and safe water, but a lot more needs to be done. Clean and safe water will reduce the cases of waterborne diseases.
According to a joint survey done by UNICEF and WHO , about 59% of Kenyans have access to basic water services. Access to clean water is a primary requirement for human survival. Not only is water used for health, hygiene and sanitation purposes but it is also important for socioeconomic use. Acoording to the Kenyan constitution of 2010 and water act of 2016, access to clean and safe water is a basic human right yet about 9 million people in the country drink water directly from contaminated sources. Ranking Kenya the third-largest country in sub-Saharan Africa whose people drink directly from contaminated surface water sources.
