Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
Shurokkha works to improve access to safe water, adequate sanitation, hygiene practices, and healthier environments through community and institution-based WASH interventions.
Programme Overview
The Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Programme aims to improve access to safe water, appropriate sanitation, and healthy hygiene practices among vulnerable and underserved populations. By working with communities, schools, health facilities, and local stakeholders, we support disease prevention, healthy behaviour, and safer environments.
Why This Programme Matters
Unsafe water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene practices increase the risk of diarrhoea, typhoid, skin infections, and other preventable diseases. Alongside safe infrastructure, sustained behaviour change and regular hygiene practices are essential for protecting public health.
What We Work On
Safe Water
Promoting safe water collection, storage, use, and awareness of water quality.
Hygiene Promotion
Awareness on proper handwashing, personal hygiene, menstrual hygiene, and healthy behaviour.
Improved Sanitation
Promoting safe, dignified, gender-sensitive, and disability-inclusive sanitation services.
School WASH
Supporting safe water, sanitation, handwashing facilities, and hygiene education in schools.
WASH in Health Facilities
Improving water, sanitation, infection prevention, and environmental cleanliness in health facilities.
Waste Management
Promoting safe household and community waste management for cleaner and healthier environments.
Our Approach
We combine participatory needs assessment, hygiene education, school and community awareness, local capacity building, and needs-based infrastructure support. Special attention is given to safe, accessible, and inclusive WASH services for women, children, persons with disabilities, and vulnerable populations.
Expected Impact
Increased use of safe water, improved sanitation and handwashing practices, reduced risk of water- and hygiene-related diseases, and healthier environments in schools and communities.
