WATER, SANITATION & HYGIENE (WASH)
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
Clean water, safe sanitation, and good hygiene — the foundation of healthy communities.
OVERVIEW
Our Commitment
Clean water, safe sanitation, and good hygiene are the foundation of healthy communities. FAWS works with schools, community groups, and local leaders to create environments where people can live healthier lives and prevent diseases caused by poor sanitation and unsafe water.
The programme promotes practical solutions communities can adopt every day — helping protect children, improve school attendance, support household wellbeing, and reduce the spread of preventable illnesses.
