Our programs

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

Clean water, safe sanitation, and strong hygiene habits for schools and rural communities.

The challenge

Why this work matters

Too many rural communities lack a safe water source and basic sanitation, exposing children to disease and keeping girls out of school.

We bring water closer to homes and schools, and work with communities to end open defecation and embed lasting hygiene habits.

What we do

Our focus on the ground

  • Water access & infrastructure

    We drill boreholes, connect water to facilities, and distribute water tanks to households so families no longer walk for hours to find a clean drink.

  • Sanitation & ending open defecation

    We build latrines and handwashing stations for schools and communities, and support remote rural areas to stop the practice of open defecation.

  • Hygiene campaigns & clean-ups

    Through child clubs and government programmes we run hand-washing campaigns, environmental clean-ups, and waste management.

From the field

Smiling Periods: dignity for schoolgirls

Alongside boreholes and handwashing stations, our WASH teams distribute re-usable sanitary packages so girls don’t miss school during their periods.

It is a small but powerful pairing — infrastructure that brings water close, and dignity that keeps girls learning.
