It is about one year since Napuu Chilakeny, a resident of Naipa village in Turkana — who is now in his 70s — built a latrine for his family. Decades before, Chilakeny, his wife Alice, their five children and grandchildren would go for the call of nature in the bushes nearby — putting themselves at risk of physical harm and diarrhoeal diseases, especially during the rainy seasons.
Alice told the Business Daily that life has not been the same again after the latrine was built. She enjoys the privacy that comes with using it and living in a clean environment.
