We provide complementary water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services at our supported health and nutrition facilities
This includes access to safe drinking water, gender-segregated toilets and bathing facilities, and proper medical and non-medical waste disposal, among other hygiene services.
Currently Caafimaad+ consortium provides WASH services at health facility level. The services ensure that beneficiaries receive safe and clean water at quantities adequate for drinking, washing, personal and toilet use for outpatients and inpatients as recommended by SPHERE standards. The consortium promotes safe healthcare waste management and disposal through establishing a proper waste collection, storage, transportation and disposal system to reduce staff, patients, visitors and community from the exposure to infectious diseases. The facilities are equipped with adequate numbers of clean, gender segregated toilets which are renovated periodically to ensure their serviceability to cater for the needs of the outpatients, inpatients, and caretakers. To improve hygiene at household level, caregivers of boys and girls < 5 years admitted in the stabilization centers (SC) of supported facilities are provided with WASH kits. This is expected to improve the overall hygiene at the household levels thus reducing the risk of transmission of water-borne diseases, further compounding malnutrition and complicating the outlook. All supported health facilities will routinely provide hygiene promotion sessions through individual counselling and weekly group promotion sessions at the facility level. One community Hygiene volunteer (CHV) stationed at each supported health facility and one nursing/WASH staff will carry out daily promotion and sensitization sessions. In some facilities, the action will engage community health workers instead of hygiene volunteers.
