Need:lt/bgt Recognizing the rise in AWD cases during winter,
our project, "Healthy Hands, Strong Communities," focuses on
promoting consistent handwashing with soap during critical times. Through
community education and awareness programs, we aim to reduce AWD cases and
enhance overall public health.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt2. Expanding Access
to Clean Water and Sanitation.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbgtPriority
Need:lt/bgt To address the pressing need for clean water and proper sanitation in the
Kohestanat district of Saripul province, we are embarking on our primary
project activity. This initiative involves constructing three raised water
supply networks, with the goal of providing
potable water to 2,504 HHs in the region. To maximize efficiency and
promote environmental sustainability, we are implementing PVP systems, harnessing the cost-effectiveness and renewable energy
benefits of solar technology. every 15 HHs will benefit from the installation
of a tap stand, significantly reducing the time and effort required to access
clean water. This will empower children, particularly girls, by enabling them
to attend school regularly and engage in various activities without the burden
of water-carrying responsibilities.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtOur comprehensive approach not only addresses immediate water needs but
also plays a vital role in combating diarrheal diseases, ultimately saving
lives. By providing access to clean water and sanitation, we aim to contribute
to the health and prosperity of Afghan families and children, fostering a
brighter and more promising future. Our technical survey has identified the specific
locations for these three networks, with deriving waters from spring sources, ensuring a sustainable and
comprehensive solution to the water challenges faced by these communities. meeting
daily water requirements and adhering to standard WASH cluster guidelines.lt/pgtltpgt

persons with disabilities in our water and sanitation initiatives. The
construction of tap stands, and the design of water distribution points will
consider accessibility and usability by individuals with disabilities.lt/ugt
Furthermore, we will actively engage with local disability organizations and
communities to ensure that persons with disabilities have equitable access to
clean water and sanitation services, reflecting our commitment to leaving no
one behind.lt/spangtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtThe infrastructure
will include water storage facilities, pipelines, solar systems, water wells,
water pumps, and units for the solar-powered networks.
Additionally, the Donor logo will be prominently displayed to recognize their
crucial support for this essential project.
