Our Projects
Clean Water, Safely Managed Sanitation and Hygiene Facilities
We build robust and sustainable infrastructure within the schools to ensure that sanitation is intuitive and safely managed. In addition to clean drinking water, we are putting up gender- and community-orientated toilets, handwashing stations, and septic tanks for waste management systems. This creates a hygienic environment in which children can learn and grow.
Borehole Construction
A majority of schools in rural Kenya lack access to public water sources. Children are forced to bring water from home or fetch it from rivers. We therefore construct shallow wells or boreholes whenever possible to provide a sustainable water supply. These provide drinking water, help to improve hygiene and reduce the spread of waterborne diseases and create more leaning time for the children.
Hygiene Promotion: We conduct hygiene education programs to teach children the importance of handwashing, personal hygiene, and safe water practices. By empowering them with knowledge, we help them take ownership of their health and well-being.
Safe Girl Child Support
Protection and support of girls rescued from Forced Marriages and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation).
Under the slogan ‘Safe Girl Child’, Grace Foundation has decided to address this issue and help the girls affected in the regions. In response to a request from the school management in Ortum, we constructed a girls’ shelter on the school campus, which will provide safe accommodation for up to 140 rescued girls. In 2024 we have patnered with an AIC church missionary to build a rescue centre for more girls in North Pokot .
The issue of forced marriages and genital mutilation of young girls first came to our attention in 2022 during the construction of a sanitation facility at Ortum Girls’ boarding school in West Pokot County, Kenya. Although these practices are prohibited by law, they are still practised in many parts of Kenya, Africa.
