In response, Polish Humanitarian Action is implementing an emergency WASH project to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. PAH will provide emergency water by truck, repair and upgrade existing wells and a borehole, install solar-powered pumping systems, and build a raised water storage tank to ensure a more reliable water supply. Water will be treated and regularly tested to keep families safe and healthy, while local community members will be trained to manage and maintain the systems.

The project will also construct shared, flood‑resistant toilets, including accessible facilities for people with disabilities. Solar lighting will be added around sanitation areas to improve safety at night, particularly for women and girls. Families will receive simple handwashing tools, and communities will be involved in deciding where facilities are built and how they are maintained.

To promote healthy practices, trained hygiene promoters will visit households and lead community discussions on handwashing, safe water use, toilet hygiene, menstrual hygiene, and protection from abuse. The project will also support waste management through clean‑up tools, waste disposal pits, and regular community cleaning activities.

Overall, the project aims to improve health, dignity, and safety while reducing the risk of disease. It will reach approximately 13,476 people across IDP camps and rural villages in Afgooye District, with strong community participation and close coordination with local authorities and humanitarian partners to ensure effective and lasting impact.
