WASH stands for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene, and it encompasses efforts to ensure access to clean water, proper sanitation facilities, and good hygiene practices. WASH initiatives are crucial for improving public health, reducing waterborne diseases, and enhancing overall well-being, particularly in communities facing water scarcity, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene conditions. These efforts involve providing safe drinking water sources, improving sanitation infrastructure, promoting handwashing and hygiene education, and implementing sustainable water resource management practices. WASH interventions have a significant impact on reducing poverty, improving gender equality, enhancing educational opportunities, and promoting sustainable development in communities worldwide.
