Kenya is amongst the most water-scarce nation on the planet, with a majority of its own citizens unable to access clean water for an affordable price. Waterborne diseases present a major health challenge for the nation. The number one water treatment practice, particularly in rural areas, is to boil it, as this is an effective way of killing nearly all parasites and viruses coming from non- water sources that are safe. But collecting and combusting the firewood to boil the water is containing a severe collision on the landscape (deforestation and land erosion) and the unfortunate citizenry, especially, especially women and girls in the rural areas and urban slums, who spend a considerable amount of their time gathering wood and water. This prevents them from attending school, and raises the risk of injuries from the constant heavy lifting.
Additionally, it increases the threat of sexual violence, as they often must visit remote regions to get the wood and water. As they occasionally need to perform transactional sex to get access to the forests, additionally, it exposes them to exploitation. On priority basis, the indoor air pollution formed by burning the wood cause’s respiratory infection.
