Sustainable Water Management in East Africa

What is Water Management?
Water management means taking care of water so we don't waste it. It's like being smart about how we collect, store, and use water every day.

Why is This Important?
Many places in Kenya and Rwanda don't have enough clean water. When it rains, we can catch that water and save it for later. This helps families have water when they need it.

How to Collect Rainwater
Put containers under your roof when it rains. The water that falls on your roof will flow into the containers. You can use this water for washing clothes, watering plants, or cleaning.

What is Greywater?
Greywater is the water you use for washing dishes or taking a bath. Instead of throwing it away, you can use it again to water your garden plants.

Simple Steps to Start

• Get some clean containers or buckets.
• Place them where roof water flows down.
• Cover containers to keep bugs out.
• Use the water within a few days.
• Always boil water before drinking.
