Improving access to clean water and sanitation helps prevent malnutrition and supports healthy child development.
We partner with men’s and women’s groups to promote healthy hygiene. In Nigeria, we're engaging men to support the use of simple handwashing stations in rural communities.
To prevent disease outbreaks, we provide hygiene kits, build latrines and handwashing stations, and install water filters in schools, health centers, and communities—even in remote areas like Paguir, South Sudan. We also teach safe practices like handwashing, using clean utensils, and drawing water from protected sources.
In areas with scarce or unsafe water, we drill wells, decontaminate old ones, install hand-pumps, protect springs, and tap aquifers to bring clean water to remote villages and health centers. We also use innovative solutions like solar-powered irrigation and, during emergencies, deliver water by truck and set up storage tanks and reservoirs.
Sustainable change starts with community partnership. We train elected water committees to manage water and sanitation systems and support local health teams to promote lasting hygiene and sanitation practices, even after a well is built.
We can’t fight hunger without addressing waterborne diseases. Each day, thousands of children die from dirty water, poor sanitation, and unsafe living conditions. Without clean water, illnesses like diarrhea and parasites prevent nutrient absorption, increasing the risk of malnutrition and long-term health problems.
Conflict and climate change are major drivers of water scarcity. Droughts are growing more intense, floods contaminate water sources, and insecurity disrupts farming and food supply chains, making access to clean water and food increasingly difficult.
Handwashing and good hygiene are vital to preventing disease outbreaks like cholera. In Hamsuit, Ethiopia, where Global Faith For Action is enhancing access to clean water and sanitation, young Simone shows how simple hygiene practices can make a big difference.
