- Category: General
Umande Trust is a nascent rights-based agency which believes that modest resources, strategically invested in support of community-led initiatives, can significantly improve access to water and sanitation for all.
We seek to be an instrument of transformation by building on the resourcefulness of individuals, groups and coalitions of communities to engage with state and non-state actors to protect their dignity and to demand equitable, accountable and efficient services.
Umande places emphasis on active partnerships with public, private, civil society organizations to adapt and scale up water and bio-sanitation initiatives in close partnership with urban communities living and working in Kenya's growing urban settlements.
