The project provided a new eco-sanitation toilet facility, a water hand-pump, and water, hygiene, and livelihood training in the Helebu Village of the Pejeh Chiefdom in Eastern Sierra Leone. This community of 1,700 people which lived under the poverty line was affected by lack of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation causing 2 out of every 5 children under 5 years old to die from water and sanitation related diseases. Thanks to IHSAN’s projects, the community now has the means for survival and tools to empower themselves for the future. This project is part of a larger program to provide water, sanitation, hygiene training, and livelihood programs to 17 villages comprising the entire Pejeh Chiefdom.
Thanks to funding from individual members, construction has been completed on several open dams in the Rift Valley. These dams are not only providing safe drinking water but much needed jobs to displaced people.

These new dams will help many disadvantaged communities in central Kenya who are used to depending on the depleted Malewa and Turahsa rivers for their livelihood. This project will improve the health of individuals since clean drinking water is provided, women and livestock will not have to walk for long distances to find water, and farmers will be able to irrigate their land for better crop production leading to an improved income. The dams are a vital part of Malewa Trust’s (IHSAN’s Project Partner) environmental education program to teach local communities how to construct sustainable farms and water sources and teach children the importance of the environment. This project is part of a larger IHSAN campaign for the construction of 30 total open water dams, rainwater harvesting equipment and water education programs to provide access to water for over 20,000 people in the Malewa area of central Kenya.
