Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
Practical sanitation supplies and infrastructure that prevent illness before it ever reaches a clinic.
The need
Where safe water and sanitation are unreliable, preventable illness returns again and again regardless of treatment.
What we do
- Hygiene kits
- Soap
- Buckets
- Menstrual hygiene items
- Handwashing stations
- Handwashing station installation
- Latrine repair support where feasible
- Safe-water education
- Referral to water initiatives
How it works
- 01
Assess hygiene and sanitation gaps with the community.
- 02
Distribute kits and install handwashing stations.
- 03
Support latrine repair where feasible.
- 04
Deliver safe-water education and refer to water initiatives.
Community participation
Households and local tradespeople take part in installation and maintenance so stations stay usable.
Why it matters
WASH is among the most direct, lowest-cost ways to reduce disease burden in a community.
