Figure 14.6d Type of household toilet facility by residence, <strong>Kenya</strong> <strong>2007</strong>.Flush toilet, 1.3No facility, bush,field, 0.9No facility,18.5VIP,15.0VIP,9.8Traditional pitlatrine,70.4Traditional pitlatrine, 46.9Flush toilet, 37.1RuralUrbanFigure 14.6d A traditional pit latrine was the most common type of toilet facility in bothrural and urban households. Flush toilets were significantly more common in urbanhouseholds than rural households.A VIP is a ventilated, improved pit latrine.Household toilet facilities differed widely between rural and urban areas. In rural areas, 18.5% ofhouseholds had no toilet facility; therefore household members used the bush or fields forpersonal sanitation. This estimate was significantly higher than the 0.9% of urban households thatreported no toilet facilities. Additionally, a significantly higher percentage of rural households(70.4%) compared to urban households (46.9%) used traditional pit latrines. Conversely,significantly more urban households used flush toilets (37.1%) and marginally more usedventilated, improved pit latrines (15.0%) compared to rural households (1.3% and 9.8%,respectively). There have been no significant changes in household sanitation facilities in rural orurban areas since the 2003 KDHS.Among households with toilet facilities, nearly half shared these facilities with other households(48.3%). Sharing toilet facilities was significantly more common in the urban areas (74.0%)compared to rural areas (38.1%). In Nairobi and North Eastern province, approximately three outof 4 households had shared toilet facilities (71.3% and 77.2%, respectively). The percentage ofhouseholds sharing toilet facilities was not statistically different from the 2003 KDHS where 68.3%of urban households and 32.1% of rural households reported sharing.The type of toilet used by a household and the percentage sharing toilets did not significantlydiffer between HIV‐affected and HIV‐unaffected households.<strong>KAIS</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 254
