Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH)

In response to the alarming situation ADEC started implementing WASH project in Sanaag region particularly Dhahar district with the support of the Diaspora community of the region. The overall purpose of the water and hygiene sanitation (WASH) intervention was to increase the community knowledge on proper hygiene and sanitation as a preventive measure of cholera/AWD. ADEC staffs conduct a week awareness campaign for every month during the period of food aid distribution.

Component of the project activities carried out were include house to-house visit, distribution of posters and focus group discussion as well as sensitization process. To ensure maximum dissemination of the information, the staffs convey the messages during distribution of food distribution exercises. ADEC trained 7 community water and hygiene sanitation volunteers to run the CLTS to ODF in all areas and maintain the information campaigns which will promote better hygiene practice in their respective villages in every month.
