Where we work
We conduct our activities in 4 countries, where water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services in primary health care facilities and schools are inadequate and large investments for infrastructure improvement are unlikely in the near future. These include conflict-affected areas, refugee and internally displaced population camps, informal settlements and remote rural areas with poor or failed institutional structures.
Follow the individual project pages below to find out more about the different contexts and project profiles. For a general overview of the hands4health project activities in the countries, check out the news section below.
