Dig Deep

Dig Deep is working to unlock opportunity for Kenya’s poorest residents, county by county, by ensuring everyone has clean water, safe toilets, and good hygiene - forever. By reducing the time lost to water collection and preventable disease we remove barriers to learning and earning, allowing people to lift themselves out of poverty. We’re currently working with Bomet County, where 8 out of every 10 people still lack these basics of life. Most residents there live in rural communities and spend hours every day walking to collect dirty water or find a safe place to relieve themselves. Dirty water and poor hygiene spread disease meaning even more time is lost to sickness that could have been used to learn and earn. For a child, this can mean the difference between only having a primary school education, and going to university. For a parent, this can mean the difference between struggling to get by, and earning enough to improve the standing of their family and community.
