Recently, people like you stepped up to help the Global Health team meet the safe drinking water and sanitation needs of nearly 200 vulnerable families in the rural Sri Lankan village of Meegahahena.
Today, villagers who rely on fishing and subsistence agriculture are benefiting from newly installed community and household piping, water storage, and latrines as well as WASH education and system maintenance training.
And in Liberia’s Nimba County, people like you supported the construction and rehabilitation of wells, latrine systems, and handwashing stations, along with providing community WASH education across 14 communities and in 10 schools.
