Seven innovation groups in Western Kenya have been awarded grants of Sh10 million each to research and develop technology-based solutions and designs to solve sanitation problems.

The project implemented by USAID through a programme, dubbed The Hackathon, is aimed at addressing the gaps in sanitation and menstrual hygiene that counties in the region have been struggling to address for several years.
