Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program

The UNICEF Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program is a critical initiative aimed at improving access to clean water and sanitation facilities in rural areas. This program focuses on ensuring that communities have sustainable and safe water sources, as well as proper sanitation and hygiene practices, to reduce the incidence of waterborne diseases and improve overall health outcomes. By engaging local stakeholders, building community capacity, and promoting behavior change, the program strives to create lasting improvements in water and sanitation infrastructure. It plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for rural populations, particularly in underserved regions, and contributes to the broader goals of public health and sustainable development.
