Environment Principal Secretary Festus Ng’eno has officially launched World Vision Kenya’s 2026–2030.
Strategy alongside its ambitious Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) business plan, setting the stage for a nationwide push to improve the lives of millions of children across the country.
The strategy, unveiled at a high level forum bringing together government officials, development partners, civil society actors and faith based organisations, targets 13.3 million children through integrated programmes, strategic partnerships and strong policy advocacy.
It aligns with Kenya’s development priorities while addressing persistent challenges affecting children’s wellbeing, particularly in vulnerable and hard to reach communities.
Speaking during the launch, PS Ng’eno underscored the central role of water, sanitation and environmental sustainability in achieving long term development outcomes.
He noted that access to clean water and proper sanitation remains a major challenge in many parts of the country, directly impacting health, education and child protection.
This strategy comes at a critical time when climate change, water scarcity and rapid population growth are exerting immense pressure on our natural resources and social systems,” Ng’eno said. “By prioritising WASH, environmental stewardship and community resilience, World Vision Kenya is complementing government efforts to secure a healthier and more dignified future for our children.”

The 2026–2030 Strategy focuses on child protection, education, health, food security and climate resilience, with WASH identified as a cross cutting pillar.
Through the WASH business plan, World Vision Kenya aims to expand access to safe drinking water, improve sanitation facilities in schools and communities and promote hygiene behaviour change to reduce preventable diseases.
World Vision Kenya’s National Director highlighted that the strategy is people-centred and data driven, drawing lessons from previous interventions while responding to emerging risks such as climate shocks, drought and urban poverty.
The organisation plans to deepen partnerships with national and county governments, the private sector and local communities to ensure sustainability and local ownership of projects.
Policy advocacy will also play a key role, with World Vision Kenya committing to support evidence based decision making and influence policies that safeguard children’s rights and improve service delivery.
The organisation says this approach will help close gaps in access to essential services, particularly for marginalised populations.
As Kenya pushes towards achieving its national development goals and the Sustainable Development Goals, the newly launched strategy positions World Vision Kenya as a key player in driving inclusive, child focused development.
With millions of children at the heart of the plan, stakeholders expressed optimism that the next five years could mark a turning point for child wellbeing and community resilience across the country.
