Integrated WASH and Shelter Assistance for Vulnerable Conflict Affected Population in Northwest Syria In line with the 2nd Standard Allocation Paper Strategic objective (2) that aims at improving the living conditions of vulnerable affected-people, both in camps and out of camps, Shafak is planning to implement an integrated Shelter and WASH intervention aiming at improving the living conditions of vulnerable affected population in six communities: Daret Azza, Anjara, Bsartun, Hur, Qabtan Eljabal and Tqad in Daret Azza sub-district,  Jabal Saman district in Aleppo governorate. 
Through this project, Shafak will implement the following main components: 
Upgrading 150 unfinished buildings in the six communities to accommodate 150 households (estimated 900 people). 
Rehabilitation and maintenance of five water pumping stations in Daret Azza, Bsartun, Hur, Qabtan Eljabal and Tqad communities.
Rehabilitation and maintenance of two water networks in Darat Azza, Qabtan Eljabal communities.
Provision of running costs for one water pumping station in Daret Azza.

Provision of running costs for six municipalities for solid waste management services in the six targeted communities.
Hygiene promotion awareness raising sessions and distribution of hygiene kits to 4000 children in the six targeted communities.
The proposed Shelter and WASH intervention aims to reach a total of 81,357 people: 54,628 Internally Displaced People (IDPs), 26,729 Host Communities (HC), 22,455 women, 13,828 men, 22,778 boys, and 24,410 girls, as well as 6,287 people with disabilities (7%). 
Shafak will adopt an integrated approach for the implementation of the project through assisting the host communities and IDPs in the targeted communities with Shelter and WASH assistance. Shafak will carry out shelter upgrading of unfinished buildings to accommodate vulnerable acutely-in- need families with free rental shelter for a period of at least 6 months.  In addition, WASH services will be provided to both host communities and IDPs through linking the upgraded houses with functioning WASH infrastructures such as water networks, sewage network, waste management and promoting the public health in the targeted communities. To ensure integration, complementary and reach of the services to the same catchment population, Shafak focused on specific interlinked geographical areas, represented in six communities in Daret Azza sub-district.
