Under this thematic programme area, we aim to increase access to availability of clean water to the target communities through construction and rehabilitation of water sources, formation of water management committees at district and village level, sanitation and hygiene practices through construction of sanitation facilities and awareness creation and training of hygiene promoters to educate communities on good proper hygiene sanitation practices. Our WASH program strives to increase access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities and improve hygiene and sanitation practices for marginalized, hard-to-reach and underserved communities across all regions in Somalia. When a natural or man-made disaster strikes in Somalia, KRD provides immediate life-saving emergency relief by distributing food items, non-food items (NFIs) water, hygiene supplies and other basic necessities to ease human suffering. In the long-term, KRD works with partners towards recovery and reconstruction while maintaining focus on disaster preparedness and training to help reduce the damaging effects of future disasters.
