Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

Access to safe water and adequate sanitation remains a critical challenge for many communities in Pakistan, particularly in rural, peri-urban, and disaster-affected areas. SABAWON’s WASH programs focus on improving public health outcomes by ensuring reliable access to safe drinking water, improved sanitation facilities, and sustained hygiene practices. Interventions include the construction and rehabilitation of water supply schemes, hand pumps, gravity-fed systems, and water storage facilities, as well as household and institutional sanitation infrastructure. SABAWON integrates hygiene promotion and behavior change communication into all WASH projects, working closely with communities, schools, and health facilities to promote safe hygiene practices. Institutional strengthening is a core component of SABAWON’s WASH approach. Community-based management structures are established and trained to operate and maintain facilities, ensuring ownership, sustainability, and accountability. All WASH interventions are designed in line with national standards and humanitarian principles, with particular attention to gender, disability inclusion, and climate resilience.
