Spring wells and clean habits

Sanitation & water

We sensitise communities on sanitation and support protected springs and clean water points.

Disease follows dirty water. Our sanitation work is both teaching and infrastructure: helping communities protect springs, use clean water points, and build habits that keep children out of the clinic. A well is not a ribbon-cutting. It is a morning ritual that has to keep working after the visitors leave. When a household is starting over we send them home with jerrycans, a named bucket, bedding — water they can carry, and a bed they can make.

From the field

This is sanitation & water as it looks this week.

Jerrycans, a bucket named Maria

Three children stand with yellow jerrycans, a blue bucket labelled Maria, rolled bedding and a backpack. Clean water and a bed are the same mercy when a household is starting over.
