• Support the construction/rehabilitation of water points such as hand-dug wells, boreholes, and water quality analysis and treatment mechanisms etc., in rural communities.
• This project will also have a capacity development component wherein community structures like natural leaders, CLTS facilitators, private sector artisans that retails in sanitary materials will be established and/made functional to promote sustainability.
• In schools and communities, the project will focus significantly on hygiene behavior change through PHAST approach. Community Health Volunteers will be trained to promote hygiene in a participatory way.
