Access to potable drinking water, hygiene and sanitation remains a great challenge for the communities we serve. We believe that providing adequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services is a key public health challenge in today’s world. GMF works to provide these most basic human needs no matter how challenging the conditions. With hundreds of thousands of deaths each year caused by unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation and insufficient hygiene practices, we prioritize the prevention of WASH-related diseases as part of our comprehensive approach to health interventions. We promote safe hygiene practices in schools, villages, markets, refugee camps, host communities. We actively engage communities and authorities in the development and implementation of sustainable WASH interventions.
