Every year, preventable waterborne illnesses claim the lives of millions of Kenyans. Provision of clean accessible water for communities neighbouring its power plants has been one of KenGen’s key Corporate Social Investment programs since 2005.
Through partnerships with corporates, civil society, non-governmental organizations and county governments, KenGen has contributed towards addressing Kenya’s water challenges.
The KenGen Foundation runs several notable water projects, including the installation of water tanks in schools and the construction of ablution blocks.
The Foundation is also mandated in ensuring the sustainable management and up scaling of KenGen’s community water projects in all areas of the Company’s operations.
