WASH
In collaboration with Compassion International and Friends of people our WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Project is dedicated to enhancing community health in Lawngtalai and Mamit District in Mizoram. This initiative includes the construction of community toilets, a vital step towards sanitation improvement. We prioritize education by providing training on the life-saving practice of handwashing with soap, promoting hygiene awareness. Additionally, the project establishes Safe Drinking Water facilities in schools and community spaces, ensuring access to clean and safe water. By addressing these essential aspects of WASH, our partnership with Compassion International strives to create healthier environments, empower communities, and contribute to the overall well-being of the residents in these districts.
