WASH support to the most vulnerable families in Shahrestan, Miramur, Ashtarlay and Pato districts of Daikundi province ltpgtltspangtThis project has been designed and aims to provide emergency
response to the urgent Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) need of 6957 individuals (2058 men, 1978 women, 1490 boys, and 1432 girls including 1043
persons with disabilities-15%) in four districts of Daikundi province
consisting Miramur, Shahristan, Ashtarlay and Pato, under the first Standard
Allocation Fund released by Inter-Cluster Coordination Team (ICCT) for
supporting the most vulnerable population in Afghanistan in 2023. The project
will provide assistance to save the lives and alleviate suffering of the target
people who have been strictly affected by the chronic and prolonged drought,
particularly the last three years which drought has been seriously intensified.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtThe projectnbspsuggests offering a mix of water supply,
sanitation, and hygiene promotion program in the target districts. The project
will include three main components: 1) construction of pipe schemes in 11nbsptarget villages- on pipe scheme in each village. 2) providing hygiene kits to
the families in the target villages with hygiene awareness session. 3)
construction of latrines to peoplenbspwho are urgently in need of sanitation
facilities.lt/pgt

ltpgtBy construction of pipe schemes the target beneficiaries
will get access to permanent safe drinking water near to their homes using
public tab stands. Construction of each pipe scheme will include the
sub-activities:nbspprotection ofnbspspring/digging wellnbspas source of water,
construction ofnbspreservoir for water storage, excavation of trench for
installation of pipe, and construction of tab stands, and installation fo Solar Power System for Motrized Pipe Pipe schemes.nbspConsideringnbspthe geographical feature of Daikundinbspfirst option is gravity pipe scheme but in some cases if there is no spring avaliable in the target villagenbsp"Solar powered system" will be applied instead.nbspThe water will be tested both quantitatively and qualitatively to make
sure it is sufficient for the use of target beneficiaries as well
asnbspsuitable for drinking.lt/pgt

ltpgtThrough hygiene component of the project 980 hygiene kits
(one kit/family) will be provided to the 980 target families/6958 individuals
who are lacking hygiene materials,nbspincluding 1043 persons with
disabilities-15%. In addition to the hygiene kits distribution, the hygiene
promotors will conduct hygiene awareness sessions to the 980 target families to
improve their knowledge on hygiene issues and improve their hygiene practices.
In the sessions main focusnbspwill be on the topics emphasized by the MRRD
and MoPH standard hygiene manual such as: “importance of handwashing, blocking
the transmission of diseases routes like diarrhea, maintaining the personal and
environmental hygiene, waste management and HH treatment” and totally,
60nbsphygiene awareness sessions will be conducted in the target
communities.nbspltbrgtBased on community elders and representatives' suggestions in thenbsptarget districts, people do not have adequatenbspaccess to latrines in public places. Men, women, especially children are endangered withnbspdiseases such as diarrhea due to contaminated water and air pollution that comes from open defecation practices in public places. To solve this issue andnbspreduce water contamination and diseases in communities, forty (40) communal latrines will be constructed in public places such as markets, bazaars, schools and other public places where latrines are not available.nbsp lt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtAll the activities will be conducted by CAWC
sub-offices in Daikundi with technical and logistical support of CAWC
Main-Office in Kabul.nbspProcurement of equipment and materials that are not
available at the local market such pipe and Solar System will be procured by
CAWC Logistic team in Main office and the other materials will be provided from
the local market and target villages. The procurement process will be done as
per the CAWC Procurement Policy and Procedures and in compliance with the AHF
Procurement standardslt/spangtlt/pgt
