At Hope of Family, we recognize the vital role of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in promoting human health and dignity. As Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, aptly states, “Investments in WASH are what we call a 'no-regrets' investment, which supports human rights and saves lives.”
Our team is dedicated to ensuring that our beneficiaries have access to safe drinking water and hygienic practices to combat illnesses like diarrhea, which often stem from contaminated water sources. To facilitate this, we distribute essential materials such as jerkans, basins, and detergents, as well as traditional handwashing tools known as Kandagira ukarabe.
We emphasize the importance of handwashing with soap and provide clean bottles for drinking water, empowering children and families to take ownership of their health. Our initiatives also include constructing new latrines and maintaining existing facilities, promoting community cleanliness and reducing the spread of diseases that disproportionately affect primary school-aged children, particularly those from low-income families. By addressing these critical needs, we not only safeguard their health but also pave the way for a brighter, more confident future for our youth.
