Many families in\u00a0<\/span>Afgooye<\/span>\u00a0District are living in IDP camps and rural villages with\u00a0<\/span>very limited<\/span>\u00a0access to clean water, toilets, and basic hygiene services. Overcrowded living conditions and expensive water sources force people to rely on unsafe alternatives, increasing the risk of disease<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/span>especially for children, women, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

In response, Polish Humanitarian\u00a0Action\u00a0is implementing an\u00a0emergency WASH project\u00a0to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. PAH will provide emergency water by truck, repair and upgrade existing wells and a borehole, install\u00a0solar-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\u00a0maintain\u00a0the systems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The project will also construct\u00a0shared, flood\u2011resistant 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\u00a0maintained.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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\u2011up tools, waste disposal pits, and regular community cleaning activities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overall, the project aims to improve health, dignity, and safety while reducing the risk of disease. It will reach approximately\u00a013,476 people\u00a0across\u00a0IDP camps and rural villages\u00a0in\u00a0Afgooye\u00a0District, with strong community participation and close coordination with local authorities and humanitarian partners to ensure effective and lasting impact.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
