A national hand-washing programme funded by the World Bank and other donors has been unveiled. The Water and Sanitation Programme (WSP) is supporting the Ministry of Health in a campaign that will have hand washing as part of its activities, to check cholera.
The first phase of the project, which is expected to cost $ 200,000 (Sh12.4 million), and run for three years, starts in September. WSP had used $ 50,000 (Sh3 million) in preparation for the programme, which would benefit many residents of Kisumu town, in the wake of a cholera outbreak in Nyanza.
