WASH

WASH stands for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. It’s a crucial aspect of public health that focuses on providing clean water, proper sanitation facilities, and promoting good hygiene practices. These three elements work together to prevent diseases, improve health, and enhance overall quality of life. When people have access to clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing, and they have safe toilets and proper sanitation systems, they are less likely to contract illnesses like diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. Additionally, promoting handwashing and other hygiene practices helps to break the chain of disease transmission in South Sudan.
