Also, approximately 11,650 dignity kits were distributed to women and girls in Kenya in fiscal 2024. Dignity Kits contain washable/reusable sanitary pads. They are given to girls and young women who cannot afford them so the girls and young women can remain in school during their monthly menstrual cycles.

Research and analysis of project data revealed these impacts in Fiscal 2024:

  • An average of 433 people were benefiting from each water project
  • 672,529 hours were saved EACH DAY by children and adults (90.1 minutes saved each day per household) no longer needing to walk long distances for water
  • 3,698,106 additional HOURS each month hat children were in school rather than fetching water
  • 462,263 additional DAYS each month that GIRLS were in school rather than fetching water 
  • $10,607,812 in total monthly economic impact from families no longer needing to buy water (estimated average water purchases per household multiplied by total households)
  • a $5.00 economic return for each $1.00 invested by a donor (value of hours saved from walking to fetch water that can be applied to earning income, of hours saved that can be applied to attending school, of household savings from no longer buying water, etc.)
