KARDO AID’s WASH program aims to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services for vulnerable communities in both rural and urban areas. The program responds to chronic water scarcity, poor sanitation conditions, and recurring disease outbreaks such as cholera and AWD, while also supporting long-term water infrastructure development.

• Strengthen sustainable water resource management systems.
• Support both emergency and long-term WASH solutions.

• Construction of latrines and sanitation facilities in IDP camps and schools.
• Community-led total sanitation (CLTS) initiatives.
• Training water user committees for sustainable management.
