What we are achieving together
Thanks to every single UK Coffee Week supporter, along with Project Waterfall partnerships and WaterAid, by 2022, our project will make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for people living in some of the world’s poorest communities.
Working in close collaboration with community members and government officials, we will:
Provide 10,662 people with access to clean water and sanitation.
Indirectly support a further 21,324 people to receive access to WASH. (I.e. people receiving support from government WASH intervention as a result of us influencing and system strengthening.)
Bring clean water to three kebeles, including two schools and two health facilities.
Construct two 100m3 reservoirs.
Build and rehabilitate 20 water points at schools and in public spaces.
Build and rehabilitate 3 toilet blocks in two schools and one health centre, which will be gender segregated.
Increase knowledge, skills and awareness in communities about the importance of prioritising water, sanitation and hygiene in community development plans.
Raise awareness and promote hygiene behaviour change through promotion and education work. For example, running menstrual hygiene management education sessions in schools.
