Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

People need access to clean water and to methods of managing their hygiene needs. ACROSS works to ensure communities have access to water and hygiene education. This includes rehabilitation of wells, prevention of food/water borne illness, programs on menstrual hygiene, and maternal/infant hygiene.
