Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and Women Empowerment Project in Rural Kenya Policy Brief by Javan Solomon Okello, Japan Habitat Association This policy brief addresses critical gaps in Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) in rural Kenya, focusing on empowering women and promoting gender equality. Conducted in the Muriu Community Unit of Homa Bay County, this project explores the challenges women and girls face in managing their menstrual health due to limited access to affordable menstrual products, inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure, and socio-cultural stigmas around menstruation. Key Findings: Limited Access to Sanitary Products: Over 66% of respondents sacrifice basic needs like food and education to afford sanitary products, highlighting the need for subsidies and affordable alternatives like reusable pads. Inadequate Sanitation Facilities: Many women and girls struggle with hygiene due to the lack of private, secure latrines and consistent water access, with most relying on distant water sources like rivers and streams. Low Awareness of Sustainable Practices: There is minimal knowledge about reusable menstrual products, and education on MHM remains inadequate, particularly for men and older women. Recommendations: Expand MHM Education: Implement community and school-based programs that engage all genders and promote sustainable menstrual practices. Leverage digital platforms to disseminate MHM information, especially in remote areas. Improve Product Accessibility: Partner with local entrepreneurs and NGOs to promote the local production of reusable products, while implementing subsidies to make them more affordable. Upgrade Infrastructure: Secure funding for building private, secure latrines and ensure consistent access to clean water sources to facilitate better hygiene during menstruation. Advocate for Gender-Sensitive Policies: Integrate MHM into WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) policies, engage community leaders to advocate for culturally appropriate solutions, and promote environmental safety through education on safe disposal and the use of reusable products. Conclusion: Improving MHM is not just about sanitation but also about dignity, gender equality, and economic empowerment. By tackling the root causes of inadequate MHM through policy, education, and infrastructure upgrades, we can ensure that women and girls in rural Kenya lead healthier, more empowered lives.

Smile Latrine Project: Achievements, Impacts, and WASH Solutions in Resource-Limited Settings Presented by Javan Solomon Okello, Project Manager The Smile Latrine Project (SLP), launched in 2019 in Homa Bay County, Kenya, was designed to address critical sanitation challenges in rural, resource-limited communities. As the Project Manager, I led a multidisciplinary team focused on eradicating open defecation, improving sanitation infrastructure, and empowering communities through innovative Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives. The project partnered with international organizations like JICA and Japan Habitat Association, alongside local stakeholders such as Sawa Yume Kenya and the County Government of Homa Bay. Key Objectives and Strategies: Eradication of Open Defecation: Achieved Open Defecation Free (ODF) status across multiple villages through Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), educating communities on the health risks and fostering behavioral change. Improved Sanitation Facilities: Constructed over 2,800 latrines and introduced low-cost technologies like Sato Pans to ensure safe and clean sanitation for every household. Sanitation Technology and Training: Expanded sanitation options by training local masons in new technologies, empowering the community to sustain and expand sanitation improvements. Economic Empowerment through Agribusiness: Enhanced household incomes by introducing agribusiness opportunities such as Tissue Culture Bananas (TCBs) and improved chicken breeds, linking economic growth to sanitation investments. Project Achievements: Latrine Construction: Over 2,861 latrines were built, benefiting more than 6,300 households. Handwashing Facilities: Installed more than 3,000 handwashing stations, reducing the incidence of sanitation-related diseases. Public Health Impact: Diarrhea cases dropped significantly, with some areas recording a 100% reduction in reported cases. Economic Empowerment: Over 7,400 households received TCBs and chickens, boosting income generation and enabling further investments in sanitation. Challenges and Solutions: The project faced obstacles such as high poverty rates, cultural resistance to new sanitation practices, and logistical challenges in reaching remote areas. These were overcome through community engagement, financial support, and adaptive planning, ensuring that the project met its objectives sustainably. Through my leadership, the Smile Latrine Project not only improved sanitation but also transformed lives by promoting economic resilience and public health. This model of integrating WASH initiatives with community empowerment offers a blueprint for successful sanitation projects in resource-limited settings.]]>
