An arrest in 2014 for discharging raw sewage sparked a transformative Sh172 million community-funded sewer project in Kitengela, Kenya. Titus Njari Ndei, then 36, and 22 other plot owners were taken to court by the County Government of Kajiado for violating the Public Health Act, prompting Ndei to propose a permanent solution that revolutionized sanitation in the rapidly urbanizing town.

• The project boasts over 64 kilometers of community sewer lines, valued at Sh172 million, connecting to the EPZA Kinanie effluent treatment plant.
• Titus Ndei, a locomotive engineer, became the pioneer of the community sewer line after his plea in court led to the formation of the Kitengela EPZ Neighbouring Community Association.
• Plot owners contributed a Sh250,000 connection fee and other levies, significantly reducing their previous sewage disposal costs, which for some reached Sh104,000 monthly.
