Access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene -
WASH Services is crucial for population health, welfare, and development.
Mahila Housing Trust, an NGO, works to provide sustainable WASH solutions by addressing physical infrastructure, behavior, natural resource management, and community capacity. They connect low-income communities to government programs and private funding to build functional toilets in homes and schools. The organization resolves land tenure and financial obstacles that hinder legal access to municipal water supply and wastewater services.
Mahila Housing Trust also raises awareness about the health and safety impacts of inadequate sanitation through personalized and mass media communication. They empower women and young girls to become hygiene and sanitation ambassadors. Additionally, the NGO assists communities in conducting hydrological assessments, reviving traditional water sources, and managing water scarcity.
By investing in WASH, Mahila Housing Trust contributes to economic growth, reduces medical burdens, increases productivity, promotes social inclusion, and creates long-term employment opportunities.
