Imagine a childhood free from illness, where every day isn’t a battle for clean water. For countless children living on the streets of South Sudan, this is a harsh reality. Contaminated water and poor sanitation are breeding grounds for disease, stealing their health, hope, and future.
This is where the Compassionate Institute for Street Children (CIS) steps in. Our WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) program is more than just building toilets and wells; it’s about building a foundation for a healthy and empowered generation.
Empowering Change: A Holistic Approach to WASH
Our WASH program goes beyond simply providing access to clean water and sanitation facilities. We take a multi-pronged approach, informed by best practices around the world:
Community Engagement:
We prioritize collaboration with community leaders and residents to ensure our solutions are culturally appropriate, sustainable, and effectively managed.
Hygiene Education:
Knowledge is power! We implement interactive workshops on hygiene practices like handwashing and safe water storage, empowering children and families to protect themselves from disease.
Sanitation Infrastructure:
We construct and maintain toilets and latrines, prioritizing safety, privacy, and accessibility for all.
Water Access & Management:
We drill wells, install rainwater harvesting systems, and train communities on water management techniques to ensure a long-term, reliable water source.
The Ripple Effect: WASH for a Healthier, Brighter South Sudan. By addressing the WASH crisis, we create a ripple effect of positive change:
School Attendance:
When children aren't battling waterborne illnesses, they can attend school regularly, fostering education and opportunity.
Dignity & Safety:
Safe sanitation facilities, especially for girls and women, provide privacy and dignity, reducing the risk of harassment and assault.
Empowered Communities:
By managing their own water systems and promoting hygiene practices, communities gain a sense of ownership and control over their well-being.
Reduced Illness:
Clean water and sanitation drastically decrease waterborne diseases like diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid, keeping children healthier and in school.
Improved Nutrition:
Access to clean water allows for better food preparation and hygiene, promoting better nutrient absorption and overall health.
