School Toilet Construction 

 

We partnered up with Global Volunteer Network Foundation (GVN) to assist with building new bathrooms at the Las Hormiguitas kindergarten in the Huchuy Yachaq community center near Cuzco,Peru. The donation was used to build boys, girls, and adults bathrooms with both toilets and working sinks in each. 


By having proper bathrooms and sinks, the teachers are now able to teach the kids about the importance of personal hygiene and they can instill hygienic habits in the kids from a young age.  Learn more

UGANDA

Water Well Renovation  

 

Uganda also known as the "Pearl of Africa" is a 32 million strong East African nation. Due to “Africa’s longest war” (21-years) and displacement of local population to refugee camps, existing water infrastructures in Uganda has been completely devastated.  A third of the population still doesn't have access to an improved water source and 40 % of people live on less than $2 a day.


We partnered up with Global Volunteer Network (GVN) Foundation for  renovating four natural spring wells in the rural areas of Kitoola and Biibo in Buikwe District and two wells in the semi-urban Kigombya and Kasangalabi in Mukono District. The project was managed by The Real Uganda, drawing upon its group of 23 Ugandan community-based organizations and schools in central and south Uganda. This project provides clean and safe water to more than 3,000 people and six schools. Learn more

IRAQ

Toilet Renovation and Clean Water Projects 

 

Three decades of war and poor water resource management has completely decimated the sanitation infrastructure of Iraq.  The consequence of this steady degradation was manifested by the outbreak of cholera in 2007, the worst in recent history, underlining the dire state of water and sanitation across the country.

 

The standard of sanitation in Iraqi schools is hazardously low; few schools have running water or are connected to a system to dispose waste. There is a particular lack of proper facilities in girls secondary schools. We partnered up with Iraqi Al-Amal Association for construction of new sanitation facilities at 3 different girl schools. The project was generously sponsored by Dragon Oil. Learn more

KENYA

Kenya

  

Water and Sanitation Projects

 

 

The population of Kenya is  42 million out of which roughly 16 million people (1 in 3) do not have access to clean water and twice that number (2 out of 3) does not have access to adequate sanitation. Over 10,000 children die every year from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation in Kenya.


We have a long term history of working in Kenya. We work with both local and international partners that understand the country's specific water and sanitation needs. Our projects comprises constructing water reservoirs at schools and communities in  Malewa Valley, implementing  Better Water Maker (BWM) (a human-powered device designed for use in the developing world to produce safe water), hygiene and sanitation training and setting up small business enterprises.  Learn more

SIERRA LEONE

Water and Sanitation Projects

 

 

Sierra Leone is considered as one of the poorest countries in Africa. Eleven years of civil war has decimated the country's already dilapidated sanitation infrastructure. It should not come as a surprise that 5 million people out of a population of 6 million does not have access to adequate sanitation. Over 4000 children die each year due to lack of clean water and sanitation.   

 

We have worked with Wherever the Need (WTN) in Sierra Leone on sanitation and clean water projects. The project involved cleanup and restoration of existing water infrastructure and construction of eco-toilets. Learn more

Liberian Refugee Camp Sanitation Campaign  

 

 

Ghana is one of the most densely populated countries in West Africa. Roughly 3.5 million people lack access to basic sanitation. Buduburam was a Liberian refugee camp located 27 miles west of Accra,Ghana. IHSAN (now Sanitation for All) teamed up with Children Better Way and GVN Foundation for addressing the sanitation needs of 42,000 thousand refugees. Along with constructing toilets, billboards were installed with specialized hygiene and health messages throughout the camp. A community sanitation tools-bank system was also established to make tools available for community cleanliness. 

 

Unexpectedly, in 2011 the refugee camp was closed by the Ghanaian government and the refugees were forced to resettle elsewhere. However, project partners confirmed that in the two years the sanitation facilities and billboards were in existence, lives were saved.  Learn more
