Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)

Promoting Clean Habits and Healthy Communities WASH is a core pillar of Seba Jagats public health strategy, especially in tribal and rural areas where access to clean water and proper sanitation remains a challenge. Our program focuses on improving infrastructure and fostering sustainable hygiene behaviors. Our Focus Areas • Safe Drinking Water: Support for establishing and maintaining community-managed water sources to ensure reliable access to clean water. • Sanitation: Promotion of household toilet construction and use through behavior change communication (BCC), household visits, group discussions, and educational outreach. • School-Based Hygiene: Hygiene education sessions for children on handwashing, safe defecation, and menstrual hygiene, supported by hygiene corners equipped with soap, towels, and sanitary materials. • Cleanliness Drives: Regular village-level campaigns led by trained community volunteers to reinforce public hygiene practices. Empowering Women and Youth A key innovation of our approach is the mobilization of women and adolescent girls as WASH Champions. These trained leaders: • Oversee sanitation and hygiene campaigns • Monitor water point functionality • Ensure community adherence to hygiene standards Their leadership ensures that WASH solutions are gender-responsive, sustainable, and community-owned.
