July 2025 Kokelo and Nyatigo Project Update
Water1st’s local partner, KWAHO, is leading the development of two separate piped water systems serving the communities of Kokelo and Nyatigo. Kokelo: Expanding Household Connections

The Bring Water Home™ approach is built on a simple principle: only household-level water access ends the walk for water and enables the public-health behaviors that keep families thriving. We extend this standard to every household, school, clinic, and community center, ensuring entire communities benefit from reliable, 24/7 safe water. With water available at the turn of a tap, families can practice healthy daily habits; incomes and educational opportunities expand; and the gains last for generations.
Our impact:
● 711% return based on time savings alone
More time → more income → more opportunity
● 99% of our 5,000 projects remain operational, even decades later
● Far exceeds the global 50% failure rate within five years
*not from a handpump, kiosk, or water filter

When Water1st returned to Los Limones more than a decade after the project was completed, the water system was still working—and the community had built strong financial reserves to maintain it. But residents spoke most about how daily life had changed: no more waiting in line for laundry water, and no more leaving children behind while collecting water.
