WASH
Sewa International’s WASH initiative promotes access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, ensuring healthier communities through sustainable solutions and awareness-driven interventions By promoting menstrual hygiene education and behavioral change, we strive to create lasting impact, particularly among adolescents and underserved populations.
Sustainable Access to Clean Water and Sanitation
Neglecting proper WASH practices has far-reaching consequences, contributing to the spread of infectious diseases such as pneumonia, respiratory illnesses, diarrhea, and parasitic infestations. In 2010, the United Nations recognized Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation as a Human Right (HRTWS), thus reinforcing the global commitment to ensuring safe, affordable, and accessible water and sanitation for all.
Investing in WASH not only prevents disease but also strengthens education systems, empowers communities, and promotes gender equality, therefore making it a key driver of sustainable development.
