WASH
Water is Life
Access to infrastructure, including drinking water supply systems and sanitation facilities, can have a profound impact on the health and nutritional status of populations. However, infrastructure alone is not always sufficient and needs to be complemented by significant changes in behaviors and practices.
Our expertise covers
Household and Community Water Management
At the community level, ensuring sustainable access to water requires a capacitated management structure, proper operations and maintenance, and payment for water. In addition, at the household level, these attributes can be complemented with efficient water transport, storage, treatment, and use.
Improved Sanitation and Hygiene
We help to increase knowledge around the importance of handwashing with soap (particularly at critical times), reducing disease transmission from fecal waste, as well as menstrual hygiene management. Furthermore, we provide suggestions regarding general sanitation facility design elements to meet the needs of different groups.
