Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

Safe water, sanitation and hygiene are essential for health, dignity and human development. Rural communities may face challenges related to water quality, seasonal scarcity, inadequate sanitation facilities, poor drainage and limited awareness of safe hygiene practices.

TSRD supports communities in improving water access, managing local water resources, maintaining sanitation facilities and adopting healthier household and community practices.

Infrastructure development is combined with awareness, training and community-led maintenance so that improvements remain useful and sustainable over time.
