The Drinking Water and Sanitation Program aims to ensure access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation facilities in communities. The program focuses on building sustainable water supply systems, promoting hygiene practices, and empowering communities to manage water and sanitation resources effectively.
Limited access to clean water and inadequate sanitation facilities contribute to waterborne diseases, poor health, and reduced quality of life, especially in rural communities. This program addresses these challenges by constructing and rehabilitating water supply systems, improving sanitation infrastructure, and raising awareness about proper hygiene practices.
Through community participation, capacity building of local water committees, and partnerships with local authorities, the program ensures sustainable management of water and sanitation services.
Unsafe water and poor sanitation affect health, livelihoods, and productivity. The program seeks to provide safe drinking water, improve sanitation, and promote hygienic behaviors to reduce disease risk and enhance community well-being.
