Clean Drinking Water
Our water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) activities include:
- Ensuring access to clean drinking water by creating sustainable boreholes
and rainwater harvesting systems - Monitoring existing boreholes to prevent over-extraction and damage to
natural resources - Employing alternative power sources, such as solar, in the operation ofwater sources to reduce reliance on fuel-powered equipment and greenhouse gas emissions
- Distributing water fairly by building pipelines and surface-water kiosks that consider water needs to households, schools, clinics, agriculture, livestock, and the environment
- In emergencies, trucking clean water to crisis-affected areas
- Training teachers and local leaders to promote public hygiene and deliver information on water treatment, conservation, and storage to improve lives at the household level
- Constructing latrines for households, schools, and clinics that are designed to withstand extreme weather events
- Distributing hygiene kits that include necessities like sanitary napkins, laundry and body soap, toothbrushes, and plastic combs
