Leveraging decentralized entrepreneurial approach to safe water supply
A comprehensive study on safe water kiosks and their impact in rural Kenya

Description:

The SWE kiosks have increased access to clean and safe drinking water for the respective communities in the six sites under assessment. All the kiosks have high financial sustainability potential. None of the kiosks can scale without external support. The kiosks have influenced the establishment and growth of businesses and
social amenities. The technology used in designing the SWE kiosks model is cost-effective and replicable across other rural and underserved communities. There is potential to reduce the non-revenue water and increase revenues. Access to clean and safe drinking water has led to a reduction in cases of waterborne related illnesses like cholera and typhoid.
