Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
codaid supports the sustainable delivery of water, hygiene, and sanitation (WASH) services to communities, through capacity building of communities within their social structures to plan, implement, operate, manage, and make informed decisions for improved WASH
- On the hardware side, we build WASH infrastructure such as toilets and community water pumps. We also repair or build sewage systems, water storage and water treatment facilities.
- On the software side, we run hygiene promotion and behaviour change activities to improve people’s knowledge of good sanitation and hygiene practices (such as proper handwashing). We also support communities to effectively manage and maintain their water, sanitation and hygiene facilities.
More and more we are integrating WASH activities into other areas of our long-term and emergency work—from nutrition to protection, gender and inclusion. And we constantly research and innovate new WASH technologies and tools to better serve our communities.
