Our WASH programs seek to support communities have access clean water and better living conditions, prevent diseases and save lives among others. We do this by working with communities in collaboration with other Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Government agencies including research institutions and international partners. Our approach depends principally on the WASH needs of our targeted beneficiaries, and the most effective & efficient way to meet those identified priority needs.
We run hygiene promotion and behaviour change activities to improve people’s knowledge of good water, sanitation and hygiene practices (such as proper hand washing). We also support communities to effectively manage and maintain their water, sanitation and hygiene facilities.
We build WASH infrastructure such as toilets and community water pumps in partnership with critical stakeholders. We also repair or build sewage systems, water storage and water treatment facilities etc. using appropriate models such as Public Private Partnership (PPP).
