WASH    

HERCO focusing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are critical components in the lives of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The importance of WASH to IDPs includes:

Preventing Disease: Access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities helps prevent the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, which are common in crowded and unsanitary conditions.

Ensuring Dignity and Privacy: Adequate sanitation facilities provide privacy and safety, particularly for women and girls, reducing the risk of gender-based violence.

Promoting Hygiene: Handwashing with soap, clean water, and hygiene education are essential to prevent the spread of infections and diseases.

Improving Overall Health: Better WASH conditions lead to improved overall health, reducing the burden on healthcare facilities and allowing IDPs to focus on rebuilding their lives.
