UNICEF Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

UNICEF’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) program ensures communities have access to safe drinking water, proper toilet facilities, and hygiene education. It aims to prevent illness, promote health, and improve quality of life, especially for children and vulnerable populations. WASH initiatives build sustainable infrastructure, promote good hygiene practices like handwashing, and support clean water sources. By addressing these basic needs, UNICEF helps reduce disease transmission, supports gender equality, and contributes to overall community development and resilience, particularly in underserved and disaster-affected areas.
