Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

ISDP’s WASH Department works to improve access to safe water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene practices among vulnerable communities across Somalia. The program focuses on reducing waterborne diseases and improving public health by ensuring that communities have access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.
