SAFE WATER, SANITATION & HYGIENE
Clean Water & Sanitation for a Healthier Community
For years, our community struggled with access to safe water, relying on a distant, contaminated river that led to frequent waterborne diseases. Women and children bore the burden of fetching water daily, risking their health and safety. To solve this, we successfully built a borehole, now providing clean water to all, improving health, and easing the strain on families.
Beyond household use, this water source has boosted small-scale farming and agroforestry efforts. Community members can now engage in tree planting and nursery development, especially during school holidays, promoting environmental conservation and sustainability.
To further improve hygiene, we constructed an inclusive toilet and bathroom facility at our community center. This ensures proper sanitation for all, including children and those with disabilities, while empowering young girls with private, dignified spaces for menstrual hygiene.
While we’ve made great strides, we seek support to maintain and expand these vital WASH initiatives. With your help, we can secure clean water, improve sanitation, and promote environmental conservation, ensuring a healthier and more sustainable future for our community.
The Ladies Menstruation Cup Programme
This project tackles the lack of affordable, safe, and sustainable menstrual products faced by girls in rural areas. Many miss school during their periods, falling behind academically and losing confidence. By providing reusable cups, the programme ensures regular attendance, better concentration, and uninterrupted education.
A cup lasts for years, easing financial strain on families and freeing resources for essentials like food, healthcare, or school fees. It also reduces plastic waste from disposable pads, promoting cleaner, more sustainable communities.
The programme further supports girls with safe, private bathrooms to manage their menstruation with dignity and hygiene.
Overall, it advances education, health, economic relief, and environmental protection—empowering girls to stay in school, achieve their goals, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
