Four Women Self Groups in Makueni County have received a total of KSh 4.7 million to spearhead community-based water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects, as part of a broader initiative aimed at promoting climate justice and sustainable resource management.
The funding, provided through the Water Justice Fund from SIMAVI, is being implemented by the Neighbours Initiative Alliance, in collaboration with the Makueni County Government. The project seeks to empower women as key agents in water stewardship through locally led climate adaptations.
As part of the initiative, the women underwent a two-day training focused on building their capacity in WASH and water resource management.
The training equipped participants with practical skills to effectively plan, manage, and sustain water and sanitation efforts in their communities. It also seeks to enhance the role of women in WASH, environmental sanitation, and catchment conservation to support thriving communities.

Food fortification is the process of adding essential vitamins and minerals to everyday foods to improve health and prevent nutrition-related diseases.
With this in focus, fortifying food has emerged as one of the simplest and most effective ways to curb nutrition-related health risks.
On Friday, the Government of Makueni County in partnership with the Ministry of Health with support from the World Food Programme completed a three-day forum in Machakos to advance new strategies for public awareness on fortified foods.
The discussions that involved officers from Public Health and Agriculture departments focused on helping households, county government leadership and community stakeholders understand the value of consuming nutrient-enhanced foods, especially in preventing hidden hunger and boosting overall health.
During the forum, WFP also trained on sustainable approaches that Makueni can adopt to ensure long-term access and behaviour change on nutritious foods.
Additionally, the partnership aims to equip communities with knowledge that supports healthier, more resilient families.
