Promoting Sanitation and Hygiene at Katoba Primary School Through WASH-UP Club Support
In the village of Katoba, challenges stemming from poor hygiene and sanitation have long affected the lives of pupils at Katoba Primary School. Limited access to clean water and inadequate sanitation facilities have made it difficult for children to stay healthy and attend school regularly. Many students resort to using unsafe water sources, which increases their risk of waterborne diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. The lack of proper toilets and handwashing facilities has also contributed to unsanitary conditions, making it hard for pupils to practice good hygiene habits both in school and at home. These issues have particularly affected girls, who often miss school during their menstrual cycles due to the absence of private, clean facilities and access to sanitary products.

Kosa Qala's New beginning with access to clean water
In Kosa Qala, northern Afghanistan, families had no choice but to drink from contaminated water sources. Waterborne diseases were part of daily life, especially for children. The burden fell hardest on women, children, and people with disabilities like Jamaludin.
Now, clean water flows from taps at their doorsteps — a lifeline made possible through World Vision’s programme.
But this progress is fragile. Afghanistan’s water crisis is a multifaceted emergency, fueled by climate change, and inadequate infrastructure.
A staggering 59% of water systems are broken or dried up after decades of underfunding. Without urgent and sustained investment in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), millions more lives will be at risk.
🎥 Watch the story of Kosa Qala – a powerful reminder of what’s at stake and why this vital work must continue across more villages.
