AMT sat down with the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company today to go over the findings from our joint sewer lines assessment in Mukuru Viwandani informal settlement.

The takeaway? With continued community engagement, real change is possible including a simplified sewer system and prepaid water dispensers that would bring reliable water and sanitation services closer to residents.

This is what collaboration looks like, and it is what keeps AMT moving forward. πŸ’§πŸ€

Follow along as we work towards making access to clean water and sanitation services a reality.

Empowerment Through Education πŸ“šπŸ’ͺ

We sat down with the incredible teachers from Alternative Provision for Basic Education & Training(APBET) schools in Kibera and Mathare settlements.These are the everyday heroes showing up for children in some of Nairobi's largest informal settlements.

We listened to their challenges and shared our journey from research on education and child nutrition, to our pilot school feeding programme in Mukuru kwa Njenga where a simple meal can mean the difference between a child staying in school or dropping out.

AMT is expanding this research across four major informal settlements in Nairobi, working hand-in-hand with the communities and schools already doing this vital work because real change is not done for communities. It is done with them.

Grateful for these teachers. Grateful for this journey. πŸ™

In partnership with Lixil Next Door, we distributed sanitary pads to girls across the two schools, helping to promote dignity, confidence and uninterrupted learning.

Join us today in our commitment as we empower young girls with the resources and guidance they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. πŸ’ͺ

AMT welcomed the Rockefeller Foundation team to Mukuru to learn more about our school feeding programme.

The visit began at our centralized kitchen at Our Lady of Nazareth, where nutritious meals are prepared daily before being delivered to 1,000 learners across four informal schools. The team then visited one of our partner schools to see firsthand how the meals are distributed and reach learners each day.

The visit also highlighted our work on urban heat resilience, where the team visited classrooms that have been upgraded with simple, low-cost improvements to keep them cooler and more comfortable for learning. These interventions help reduce the effects of extreme heat, designing classrooms where learners can better concentrate and thrive.

These initiatives demonstrate how innovation, research, and partnerships can address multiple barriers to education; ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals, safer learning environments.

We appreciate the Rockefeller Foundation's continued partnership and commitment to supporting evidence-driven solutions that improve the lives of marginalized learners.

Akiba Mashinani Trust, today hosted representatives from County Government Of Homa Bay on a site visit to Mukuru kwa Reuben settlements.

The tour kicked off at Ubuntu Community Based Organization in Rurie, where guests learned about the innovative black soldier fly project, before moving on to inspect the prepaid water dispensing points serving the community.

Our guests commended the sanitation improvements led by AMT and partners, particularly the simplified sewer systems transforming the settlements.

The visit wrapped up with a walk through the reclaimed riparian land along Ngong River, followed by a short reflection session on the day's learnings.

AMT remains committed to co-creating practical solutions for planning and sanitation challenges in informal settlements.

On Friday, we brought together Mombasa zone Cluster leaders, PPD operators, artisans, waste management youth groups (waste pickers), and community mobilizers for a productive meeting focused on shaping the future of Segment 1.

The discussion centered on establishing inclusive governance structures and identifying representative leaders and managers who will champion water, sanitation, waste management, and environmental issues within the community.

By bringing together the people who work closest to the community every day, we're laying the foundation for a governance system that is participatory, accountable, and community-led. Together, we're creating a model where every voice matters and every stakeholder has a role in driving sustainable change.

This is more than a meeting it's a step towards stronger collaboration, better service delivery, and healthier, cleaner communities for all.
