The Project works under Health Program within KUAP-PANDIPIERI. Currently it is working in ten (10) informal settlements and thirty four (34) schools in Kisumu and Kitale. Amongst the activities it undertakes includes:

• Health Education and Hygiene promotion in schools; this targets primary school children with a view of having them as partners and agents of change for enhancing health knowledge and best practices with other children, their families and communities;
• Environmental protection through awareness creation, promotion of tree planting in schools and participation in regular clean-up exercises;
• Community empowerment through urban agriculture, poultry farming, and
• Awareness creation on hygiene and sanitation in communities.

Through peoples’ plans into practice, a project implemented in partnership with Practical Action East Africa and Shelter Forum, Environmental Health Project is working towards improving the well-being, productivity and living conditions of poor people living in informal settlements (children, women and men) in Kenya and ultimately the East African region. This it plans to achieve through;

• Empowering the local people by organizing their voices so that they have more say in decisions that are affecting them;
• Shelter improvement for poor people living in the project areas
• Improving incomes through promotion of savings and facilitating access to micro-credit;
• Improving coverage and access to better services (community and household levels), including but not limited to water, sanitation, Solid Waste Management, Drainages and hygiene education and promotion; and
• Mainstreaming and adoption of pro-poor service delivery models
