Mise foundation – Water, the road to dignity

The MISE Foundation was born out of a deep love for rural Africa, a place we proudly call "nyumbani" – home. Inspired by the founder's experiences growing up in rural Kenya, we are committed to transforming the water and sanitation landscape in schools and villages in rural Kenya. Our teams work in some of the most challenging environments around in rural Kenya providing WASH solutions, which stands for water, sanitation and hygiene.
Decades after independence, access to safe water and sanitation is still a challenge in a lot of households. According to UNICEF “41% of Kenyans don’t have access to safe drinking water, and 71% don’t have basic sanitation.”
The Mise Foundation is dedicated is to change this narrative by providing access to clean water, safe, dignified, and sustainable sanitation solutions. We believe that every child deserves a healthy learning environment to reach their full potential.
To improve sanitation in rural schools by providing access to safe and dignified toilets, as well as providing sustainable water solutions by drilling boreholes in the school communities in rural Kenya
To create a future where every child in rural Kenya has access to safe and hygienic sanitation facilities and to alleviate water scarcity in rural Kenya villages

What We Do?

We believe that we can save more lifes with you

Sanitation Infrastructure Development

We design and build modern, safe, and hygienic toilets in rural schools across Africa. By replacing outdated pit latrines with sustainable sanitation facilities, we create cleaner and healthier environments for students and teachers

Partnership Building

We collaborate with government bodies, NGOs, private sector partners, and donors to secure funding and resources. These partnerships help us expand our reach and impact, bringing improved sanitation to more schools across Africa.

Health and Hygiene Training

We provide comprehensive training sessions on personal hygiene, handwashing, and sanitation practices. By educating students and teachers, we promote long-term health and well-being in schools and surrounding communities.

Digital Empowerment

Computer literacy among children in rural Kenya is still relatively low due to limited access to technology and internet connectivity. According to a 2022 UNICEF report, only about 30% of children in rural areas have regular access to computers or the internet. Today, lack of computers and lack of computer literate teachers have to led to a significant part of Kenya’s youth becoming digitally excluded.
At mise foundation, we also aim to equip the schools we serve with access to computers and are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to use it effectively. This will enhance educational outcomes by integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching and learning

Access to reliable & clean water sources

We work closely with local communities to raise awareness on the importance of proper sanitation and hygiene. Our comprehensive training programs empower students, teachers, and the community the facilities and adopt healthier practices.

Monitoring and Evaluation

We regularly monitor and assess the impact of our projects to ensure they meet our goals and make a positive difference. Feedback from schools and communities helps us refine our approach and maximize the effectiveness of our initiatives.

Help Students Learn Computers

Our volunteers, as part of our ‘Giving Back’ program, seek to improve the rate of computer literacy in rural Kenya students by providing hands-on computer training to those who have had little to no access to computers.
