WASH

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

BB4C has been working to improve women’s access to clean and safe water supply, gender- sensitive sanitation and hygiene facilities both in schools and communities covering wider range of activities. We are currently implementing these activities in Jonglei, Central Equatoria, and Lakes States and we intend to expand to other States with time to reach more women and communities.

Through a multi-faceted approach, our WASH program seeks to protect the public health of vulnerable communities, their rights to safe water and sanitation, their education through provision of sanitary kits to keep girl child in school, and their safety through gender-sensitive facilities that minimize the risk of GBV.

Our activities include construction of water points (drilling and rehabilitation of borehole and mini water yards), construction of pit latrines, provision of hand-washing facilities, training on good water storage facilities, provision of WASH NFIs, provision of sanitary kits to women and girls, and education of good hygiene practices through community hygiene promoters.

To increase access to safe water and sanitation services to the most vulnerable and marginalized women and girls

To increase awareness among women and girls through education on hygiene and sanitation promotion

To reduce the risk of GBV around WASH facilities

To reduce the risk of contracting water-borne diseases

To empower local community institutions and WASH authorities in target areas in management of water and sanitation facilities.
