Environment, Water And Conservation

Kenya faces the growing challenge of providing its human population with adequate clean water and sanitation and a sustainable environment. A key focus of IFD is building the capacity of youths, institutions, and communities to incorporate environmental conservation, water access, and safety to ensure sustainability and improved sanitation.

IFD targets communities and conducts projects on water catchment areas protection and conservation. This helps improve the quality and quantity of water from these sources and hence increases access to potable water mostly by rural communities. Protection of forests and rehabilitation of drylands is also a major focus of our organization. To achieve this, IFD is working collaboratively with local government agencies, private sector companies, and hundreds of communities. Our combined approach contributes to the fight against environmental deterioration and lack of access to water and sanitation among our communities.
