Our Vision
At Umande Trust we envision communities with access to adequate, decent, affordable, and basic services in a healthy environment.
Our background
Umande Trust was founded in 2004 to promote eco-innovations that place community groups at the forefront of enterprising solutions. Inspired by the need for sustainable development, we believe in the power of community inclusion at every stage of the process. Since our inception, we have grown to become a leading organization in eco-friendly cooking and sanitation solutions in Kenya.
What are we solving?
01 The Challenge
Umande Trust addresses critical challenges in Kenya’s informal settlements, such as the severe lack of toilets leading to open defecation and “flying toilets,” low access to water, and poverty. By tackling these issues, Umande Trust mitigates health risks, reduces environmental pollution, and contributes to poverty reduction through sustainable solutions.

What We Do
Umande Trust improves living conditions in Kenya’s informal settlements through eco-sanitation projects, biogas production, and community empowerment. Our initiatives reduce health risks, promote sustainability, and create economic opportunities, transforming communities into healthier, more resilient environments.
Where We Work
Umande Trust operates primarily in informal settlements across Kenya, including areas like Kibera, Korogocho, Mukuru in Nairobi, and other regions such as Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Nanyuki. These areas are characterized by high population density, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to basic services.
Who we Work with
Umande Trust collaborates with local communities, County Governments, and international development organizations to improve sanitation and living conditions in informal settlements. These partnerships ensure sustainable, community-driven solutions that address local needs and promote health, environmental, and economic benefits.
