Not luxury. Not favors. Just clean water to drink and cook.

No community should drink Water from mud in 2026. Clean water is a right, not a privilege.

Do not see communities as aliens. See them as human beings.

#WaterIsLife #CleanWaterNow #DignityForAll

When local people participate in monitoring & managing water resources, sustainable development becomes possible.

📊 Measure, protect, & manage our water together.

🤝 Community involvement is the key to a sustainable future.

Get involved. Your water, your responsibility, our future.

Why Rivers Can No Longer Complete Their Journey A river’s job is simple: to flow. From its source to its mouth, it connects landscapes, ecosystems, and people.

This is more than an environmental issue. When rivers are denied their flow, communities are denied water, livelihoods, dignity and peace.

Rivers don’t need charity, they need Justice.

Freshwater is not renewable at the speed we are destroying it. Freshwater water protection is non-negotiable.

Every drop matters.
Every action counts.

Let’s Protect it today or pay the price tomorrow because protecting it is not #optional, it’s #survival.

#WaterIsLife

We are no longer in a water crisis.
The World is living in water bankruptcy.

Water bankruptcy means we are spending water we no longer have borrowing from rivers, aquifers, wetlands, and from future generations.

This is not just people fetching water.
This is women & children negotiating survival under a scorching sun, crouched around a shallow, unsafe water source that no one should ever have to depend on.

If water is life, then scenes like this are a collective failure of priorities.

Water connects us all so does the pressure on it.

A river does not recognise borders.
An aquifer does not choose sectors.
A drought does not discriminate.

From upstream to downstream, from policy to practice, from communities to industries Shared water demands Shared responsibility.

#SharedWater

2026 is the year to stop managing water in silos.

One Water means one interconnected system, people, planet, source to sea.

This digital poster asks: What is your 2026 One Water resolution?

Make it personal. Make it count. Make it measurable.

Season’s Greetings from KeNAWRUA✨🎄

2025 was a year of impact stronger WRUAs, deeper partnerships, & communities standing up for their water Thank you to our members, partners, and supporters for making it possible.

2026 will be even better. Together, we keep flowing forward.

Merry Christmas!

Environmental Risks of Car-Wash Effluent: Implications for Water Resource Management Have we ever stopped to think about how much water Kenya loses each year just from car washing?. I say “loses” because most of that water is never captured, recycled, or reused; it flows into the soil...

Kenya is washing away BILLIONS of litres of clean water every year, & sending toxic car wash waste straight into our water bodies. With communities walking miles for water and ecosystems under pressure, this is a crisis hiding in plain sight.

Water powers everything yet we still price it like a niche. It isn’t a sub-sector; it’s the operating layer beneath energy, food, manufacturing, data, & finance. One of the most critical & most structurally undervalued assets in the entire climate economy.

How We Frame a Water Problem Shapes How We Address It. As I have spent years listening to the whispers of rivers, meandering through the lush wetlands, and sitting through countless community meetings, I have come to a profound realization: the way we des...

If you care about how narratives shape policy, participation and action this one is for you.

#NarrativesShapeSolutions

This image should break our hearts.

If this doesn’t push us to act, rethink policy, and demand real accountability, then our “progress” is a lie.

It’s time to stop normalizing suffering & redesign justice. If we can’t guarantee water for people & planet, all global promises remain empty.
#COP30

Kenya Cannot Be Climate-Resilient Without Securing Its Water. Water is life. Yet in Kenya, the very source of our survival is under siege, and our future teeters on the edge of a crisis we cannot afford to ignore.

Kenya cannot claim climate resilience while our water is silently dying. This is about our future, our public health, our dignity.

Kenya must wake up, demand accountability, and defend its freshwater bodies.

Water is life. If we lose it, we lose everything.

One of the most haunting and powerful images from the floods in Kihoto Village, Naivasha a silent testimony of Lake Naivasha reclaiming what was once hers.

This isn’t just flooding; it’s the cost of forgetting where water once flowed.

Nature remembers!!.

From Riverbanks to Policy Rooms: How WRUAs Are Using Citizen Science to Transform Water Management in Kenya. Across Kenya’s river basins, community members are doing more than fetching water; they’re collecting data, identifying pollution hotspots, and driving real change. Through citizen science, Water Reso...

Across our river basins, WRUAs are not just fetching water; they’re collecting data, spotting pollution, and restoring rivers through citizen science.

Greatful to our partners for walking us this journey; Water Resources Authority | WWF_Kenya | Earthwatch_Europe and #GEMWater.

Public Private Partnerships built #infrastructure but not #resilience. Rivers die, wetlands choke, communities faced with thirst. It’s time for Nonprofit-Private Partnerships through Payment for Ecosystems Services (PES) to reward Protectors not just Producers.

Credible Water Policy Engagement

Every citizen has a responsibility to protect what we have. We will be a water desert where you can see water, but you cannot use it... where you will find water flowing, but you cannot drink it because it is polluted.

We can only know the health of our freshwater resources if we measure.

#Sdg6

Water can no longer be the forgotten crisis.
It must stand as central as energy & climate because without water, there’s no energy transition, no food, no life. It’s time to make water security non-negotiable.

Aqua Vitae. Simply means – ‘Living Water’ “Water is life — Aqua Vitae — the timeless thread that binds people, planet, and purpose.” The Living Essence of Water.

Let’s rethink how we value water; let’s defend water & in doing so defend life itself.

Your Voice, your Action, your Contribution they matter. From a single drop in your community to a wave of change across the Globe, you can drive the transformation our Water world needs.

At the heart of the 2030 Agenda sits water as a powerful catalyst. We often talk about climate change, poverty or health as separate issues, but water is the thread that ties them all together. In this mission, the Water Resources Users’ Associations are leading the charge.

Q&A: Citizen scientists are closing conservation data gaps

www.conservation-rising.com/p/q-a-citize...

With our partners & stakeholders, we hosted the 2nd meeting of FBOs & CSOs in the water & climate justice space, driven by one truth: We are stronger when We act together.

This is the moment to invest in a bold, faith-rooted, people-powered movement for water & climate justice.

#EcoTheology

80%+ of wastewater flows back untreated. The solution? PEOPLE POWER💪
At the #CitizenScience workshop held mid this week, partners agreed citizen data must shape water policy to advance #SDG6. Embedding it in policy bridges data gaps, drives accountability & protects our waters
#ScienceByThePeople

We are shaping Kenya’s water-secure future. 🤝

Lake Naivasha is speaking again! For the 3rd time, Kihoto is underwater—homes, lives & investments lost. Nature is reclaiming its space. Who allowed settlement on riparian land? Time to act is NOW—before people & the lake pay the ultimate price.

A TESTED River is a TRUSTED River. If we don’t MEASURE it, we can’t TREASURE it. Let’s appreciate all Kenyans in the villages with test kits, indeed they are guardians of tomorrow.
