Empowering Communities for Healthier Living: WASH Initiatives
Access to Clean Water- Installation of Deep Tube Wells
In addressing the fundamental need for safe water, Social Aid implements community-managed deep tube wells. These wells play a crucial role in regions with unpredictable rainfall patterns, ensuring a consistent water supply throughout the year. With a depth of around 800 ft., each tube well provides daily access to safe and clean water for 50-60 households, benefiting over 300 individuals.
Access to Safe and Clean Water- Installation of Iron Removal Plants (IRPs)
Recognizing the health risks posed by high iron concentrations in rural Bangladesh tube wells, Social Aid instals Iron Removal Plants (IRPs). These plants are integral to providing safe and iron-free drinking water to rural inhabitants, ensuring the well-being of the communities we serve.
Access to Sanitation & Hygiene - Building Sanitary Latrines
Access to proper sanitation facilities and good hygiene practices are crucial to human health and well-being. According to WHO and UNICEF, a basic sanitation service consists of a sanitation facility that hygienically separates human excreta from human contact that is not shared with other households. Social Aid focuses on constructing user-friendly sanitary latrines at households, particularly in vulnerable communities. Our approach involves empowering communities with the knowledge and skills needed for healthy sanitation practices through targeted hygiene education and awareness sessions.
