Access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene gives children and their families a chance to flourish.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are at the heart of child well-being and are essential for children and their families to thrive. Samaritan Foundation focuses on bringing clean water, dignified sanitation and effective hygiene practices to communities, schools and healthcare facilities. Providing clean, safe water to communities reduces the time needed to collect water so children can go to school, and parents – especially mothers -- have time to earn more money to support their families. Safe, private toilets and handwashing facilities with soap keep children and families free from disease.

WASH services at school mean that children can stay healthy and focused on learning. And healthcare facilities equipped with WASH services mean a higher quality of care for patients, including mothers and their newborn babies.

Our commitment is to ensure clean water, sanitation and hygiene for everyone, everywhere we work, by 2030 (Sustainable Development Goal 6).
