We believe access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities is a fundamental human right. Yet, billions around the world lack these basic necessities, putting their health and well-being at risk.
We are dedicated to changing that.
HANDS International works tirelessly to deliver comprehensive WASH programs to underserved communities globally. Our holistic approach focuses on:
Building and maintaining WASH facilities: We construct toilets, handwashing stations, and bathing areas, ensuring proper sanitation and hygiene practices.
Promoting hygiene education: We empower communities through educational programs on the importance of handwashing, safe water handling, and proper sanitation practices.
Community engagement: We work hand-in-hand with local communities to ensure the sustainability of our projects and empower them to manage their WASH facilities effectively.
Access to safe drinking water is a cornerstone of good health. HANDS International implements two innovative solutions to address this critical need:
PAUL Filters: Developed by the Department of Sanitation and Environment Engineering in Germany, PAUL filters are a revolutionary technology. These highly efficient and portable filters remove harmful contaminants from water sources, providing clean drinking water for entire communities.
Reverse Osmosis Plants: For larger communities, we establish Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants. These robust systems effectively remove dissolved impurities and salts, transforming unsafe water into clean and potable drinking water.
By providing WASH facilities and promoting hygiene practices, HANDS International creates a ripple effect of positive change:
Improved Health: Reduced cases of waterborne diseases, respiratory illnesses, and diarrhoea.
Increased School Attendance: Improved hygiene reduces illness and absenteeism, allowing children to focus on education.
Empowered Women and Girls: Reduced burden of water collection frees up time for education and income generation.
Economic Growth: Healthier communities lead to increased productivity and economic development.
