Kenyans living in areas without water connections stand to benefit from a Sh1.2 billion World Bank fund meant to provide running water to low income households and improve water supply in outlying counties.

This comes after the bank together with the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) and the Kenya government signed a grant agreement approving $11.8 million (Sh1.07b) in funding for water and sanitation in low-income urban areas.
