water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs

WASH programs focus on improving access to clean water, safe sanitation, and good hygiene practices. They aim to ensure people have reliable sources of clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning; safe facilities for waste disposal; and education on behaviors like regular handwashing. These efforts are essential for preventing illness, promoting health, and supporting community development. By addressing these basic needs, WASH programs help reduce disease transmission, improve quality of life, and support overall well-being, especially in underserved or vulnerable populations.
