Dig Deep

Who we are

Dig Deep is an award-winning international development charity securing clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene for the one million people of Bomet County, Kenya - through planning, projects and partnerships.

This morning, you may have turned on the tap without a second thought –  yet in places like Bomet County, Kenya, clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene are still out of reach for most families. 

Famous for producing Olympian runners and world-class coffee and tea, Bomet is also a place where two out of three people lack clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene. As a result, waterborne disease remains one of the leading killers of children under five. Beyond the immediate health crisis, time lost to sickness and the long walks to fetch water mean children miss school and parents lose vital income. And the burden falls heaviest on women and girls. 

To change this, we are working hand in hand with local communities, businesses and the Kenyan government to serve Bomet’s one million people – half of whom are children. Together, we are determined to ensure every child and their family gain lasting access to clean water, safe sanitation & good hygiene.

Through investing in planning, projects and partnerships, we will make this vision a reality by 2035 - saving lives, keeping children in school, and empowering women and girls.
