Baseline WASH and Open Defecation Free Initiative
A WASH-focused initiative aimed at understanding local water, sanitation, and hygiene conditions and supporting efforts toward sustainable open-defecation-free communities in Rasuwa.
About the Program
Water, sanitation, and hygiene are fundamental to community health, dignity, and quality of life. The Baseline WASH and ODF initiative focuses on understanding existing WASH conditions and supporting community efforts to improve sanitation and hygiene practices. Establishing a clear baseline can help identify existing challenges, understand community needs, and provide a foundation for planning appropriate interventions. The initiative also supports the broader goal of creating and sustaining communities where safe sanitation practices are widely adopted.
