How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
WASH is critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and yet WASH services are at risk of being disrupted by the pandemic. We are working with the local public health department and water utilities to increase access to sanitation and handwashing, ensure shared water points and sanitation facilities are safe, and monitor the impacts of WASH interventions in high-risk areas.Furthermore, water utilities are key leaders in their communities to "flatten the COVID-19 curve.” We are supporting: 1) a community of practice of water utilities in Kenya and 2) recovery and rebuild approaches from our country-wide assessment of the needs of water utilities.
Does your business contribute most to recovery, response, or resilience?
Resilience - we're improving the broader infrastructure for responding to pandemic outbreaks.,Recovery - we're positioned to support in the recovery of those directly affected.,Response - we're responding directly to issues caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak.
