Sanitation Program

Project Overview

Poor sanitation and hygiene practices significantly impact children’s health, nutrition, and education outcomes. The Sanitation Program worked to improve sanitation infrastructure at household, school, and community levels while promoting behavior change related to hygiene and safe sanitation practices.

The initiative emphasized child-centered approaches, ensuring that sanitation facilities were safe, gender-sensitive, and accessible. Community engagement, school-based awareness activities, and local government collaboration were key components to ensure sustainable impact.

Problem Statement

Inadequate sanitation facilities and poor hygiene behaviors expose children to preventable diseases, school absenteeism, and protection risks. The program aimed to ensure that every child has access to safe, dignified, and inclusive sanitation services while promoting sustainable hygiene practices within communities.
