Drinking water and sanitation program

Project Overview

Limited access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation contributes to waterborne diseases, poor health outcomes, and reduced quality of life, particularly in rural and marginalized communities.

The Drinking Water and Sanitation Program addressed these challenges by developing community-managed water supply systems, constructing sanitation facilities, and conducting hygiene awareness campaigns. The project emphasized sustainability through community ownership, technical training, and institutional strengthening to ensure long-term service delivery.

Problem Statement

Unsafe drinking water and inadequate sanitation remain key public health concerns that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. The program aimed to ensure reliable access to safe water and improved sanitation facilities while promoting hygienic practices to reduce disease and enhance overall community well-being.

Our Approach

Infrastructure Development – Constructing and rehabilitating water supply systems and sanitation facilities.

Community Participation – Establishing and strengthening Water User Committees (WUCs).

Hygiene Promotion – Conducting awareness campaigns on safe water handling and sanitation practices.

Capacity Building – Training local technicians and community members in operation and maintenance.

Sustainability Focus – Promoting cost-recovery mechanisms and local ownership.
