World Vision partners with local governments and community leaders to drive sustainable improvements in access to safe and dignified water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). By adopting a multi-sector approach, we deliver integrated social and engineering solutions that address the root causes of waterborne diseases and other WASH-related health risks, ensuring children are protected from long-term harm.

Our interventions focus on:

  • Ensuring equitable and sustained access to safe water
  • Providing dignified sanitation facilities
  • Promoting lasting, healthy hygiene practices

We prioritize combating the most widespread and harmful diarrheal diseases, alongside neglected tropical diseases and acute respiratory infections.

Through our WASH initiatives, we enhance child well-being by supporting parents and caregivers with improved access to water for livelihoods and household needs. These interventions reduce the time burden of water-related chores, particularly on girls, enabling them to fully participate in education, recreation, and community life while addressing structural gender inequalities.
