Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
GOAL is currently implementing five water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programmes in Sudan.
GOAL is improving access to potable water and sanitation services and enhancing public attitudes to hygiene practices in Sudan. Our primary focus is on communities that were marginalised or displaced by the ten-year conflict, and where returnees are placing immediate demands on meagre resources.
We are also building health clinics, supplying them with medication and medical equipment, training health centre staff in patient care and management, and helping encourage an improvement in the diversity of local diets by the distribution of seed and tool kits to supplementary-food beneficiaries at the outset of the planting time in each location.
GOAL is also supporting the establishment of livelihoods gardens and providing seeds and tools to farmers. We are managing tree nurseries and training farmers, some of whom are selected for intensive agriculture training.
We are establishing treadle pumps, distributing “bag gardens”, building hundreds of latrines and supporting water-harvesting to improve agricultural yield, and distributing “bag gardens” to mothers of children under five-years who are attending nutrition training.
