Umoja Muehlbauer Academy was supported by benefactors in building sanitation facilities for pupils. This included 4 bathroom, 3 toilets and a wash area in the middle. Since the provision of the infrastructure, our pupils have continued to observe hygiene and cases of stomach ailments decreased tremendously.
In 1990, 15 women formed and registered the Umoja Uaso Women's Group with the then Ministry of Culture, Heritage and Social Services to address these issues. They started by selling beadwork and other goods. After facing threats from men jealous of their success, the members decided to found a women-only village and reside together.
