Trans - Nzoia County, Kenya faces similar challenges hence, limited to achieve health and MDG goals.

Evaluation is based on education attained and type of community participation involved, reality of functional community with WASH concepts, example observing foot paths to pit latrines. Accessibility to safe and clean water and how knowledge, attitude and practice influence. Analysis should assist Donors to comprehend that, appropriate technology and synergistic partnership form bench map for project community ownership and sustainability.
