Water, hygiene and sanitation

FUNDING

The conflict that erupted in Sudan in April has exacerbated an already fragile situation for local populations, particularly those affected by drought. In the Jebal Marah area, TGH is supporting these vulnerable communities by providing emergency water, sanitation and hygiene services.

The aim of this intervention is to support the population affected by the crisis by providing access to clean water through the construction and rehabilitation of water facilities. TGH organises the rehabilitation of water facilities (water points, hand pumps), including the installation of solarisation systems where appropriate, and the provision of water quality services and activities. In addition, TGH provides capacity building and training to the affected communities to ensure that they benefit from the rehabilitated water facilities in the long term.

In addition, TGH ensures that the target population has access to adequate, protected and gender-sensitive sanitation services. To this end, solid waste management tools will be provided, as well as latrines (including the essential elements for their operation and maintenance).

Finally, TGH is setting up hygiene promotion, water quality and environmental health services for conflict-affected populations. This includes hygiene promotion activities (awareness-raising among key community members, advocacy in community spaces, construction of hand-washing facilities). At the same time, hygiene products are distributed to the most vulnerable groups of displaced people (female-headed households, people with disabilities, adolescent women, etc.).
