Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

Clean Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) encompasses access to safe drinking water, proper waste disposal, and hygiene practices to prevent illness. It involves providing clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, safe systems for waste management like toilets and sewage treatment, and promoting habits such as regular handwashing with soap. WASH is essential for health, preventing diseases like cholera and diarrhea, and supports dignity and well-being. Ensuring adequate WASH services is vital for communities' development, productivity, and quality of life.
