Safe faecal waste management can reduce transmission routes where pathogens in faecal particles pass from one person to the mouth of another. Globally, 780 million people lackaccess to safe water and approximately 2.5 billion people in the developing world have limited access to adequate sanitation, a situation that has led to increased mortality due to sanitation-related illnesses. This research sought to explore the faecal waste management practices among households across sanitation service chain in Marsabit town, Marsabit County, Kenya. Descriptive cross-sectional study design adopting mixed method was used and the study targeted a sample size of 612 households sampled from nine (9)Zones. Data collection was done through observations and interviews. The SPSS tools were used for data analysis and generating tables. About 64.9%of Marsabit county population practices open defecation. Toilet position during defecation differed from person to person and was culture-dependent. Out of 612 respondents approximately81%(n=495) respondents reported squatting during defecation as a common preferred toilet use. Sitting position was at 19% (n=117). Majority of the community were washersat 77.6% (n=475) and wipers at 22.4% (n=137). Approximately 70%(n=429) responded that they abandon their latrine once they are full. Infant mortality has been observed in Marsabit county with increased mortality especially in children under five years of age, occurring daily. This could be attributed to lack of adequate sanitation leading to open defecation, poor hygiene as well as the low water table in the area
