Dig Deep (Africa)

Dig Deep works to provide schools and communities with access to water and sanitation in rural Kenya. We work in partnership with communities to bring lasting change, building rainwater harvesting systems and latrines; working with communities to ensure that the water supplies are maintained for future generations; and training students, teachers and community leaders in hygiene and sanitation, enabling people to break the cycle of poverty and transform their own lives. Clean drinking water, proper toilets and good hygiene are essential, and yet in rural Kenya too many children and communities lack these services. They have to walk long distances to collect water; children are getting sick from unclean water and poor hygiene and girls are dropping out of school because of the difficulty of not having private toilets. Dig Deep seeks to change this, giving children clean and safe environments to learn and communities the basic resources they need to survive and thrive. We work in long term partnership with local government, schools and communities to build bespoke solutions to the challenges that they face, and ensure lasting change.
