WASH

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

Pakistan’s most marginalized rural communities across its four provinces have access to basic needs through their socio-economic uplift.

For the last many years, Pak Mission Society has ensured the provision of basic needs to many unreached communities of Pakistan including clean drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene. These needs are not just crucial for physical survival but also play a vital role in the emotional and psychological existence of many living in the South. Women and children have to walk miles away from their homes in search of water sources as well as open grounds being used as latrines. Insanitary conditions stop girls from going to schools and colleges causing low literacy rates in these areas while children suffer from many health issues and illnesses.
Pak Mission Society through tried and tested CLTS (community-led total sanitation) approach has raised engaged managed many communities, formed village development committees, led self-help groups for women, and promoted healthy living by promoting community residents to go for pit-latrines in and around their houses. Water sources and schemes are placed around villages to ensure easy access to clean drinking water. Training and awareness sessions are organized with experts to raise the level of knowledge and understanding on sanitation, personal, and
household level hygiene. We have theatre performances focusing on not just entertainment for our audiences but wrapping WASH and CLTS
messages in ways that make more sense and create recall value for the beneficiaries.

All these projects have been supporting the sustainable development goals SDG1, SDG2, and SDG6 and following Pakistan National Strategy 2025 through the following:

Pre and Post Disaster Management
Disaster Preparedness
Water Conservation/Provision
Hygiene Promotion
Sustainable Sanitation (CLTS, PATS)
