Eco-Friendly WaSH Infrastructure

A cornerstone of SO2 is the deployment of environmentally sustainable WaSH infrastructure tailored to the needs of rural and refugee communities. The program installed 50 WaSH facilities, including deep tube wells and solar-powered water treatment systems, across target areas. These faciliti es serve approximately 35,00 people, providing reliable access to clean water and sanitation.
Deep Tube Wells: In rural areas with limited groundwater access, deep tube wells were installed to tap into aquifers, ensuring a consistent supply of potable water. These wells are designed to withstand seasonal fluctuations and are equipped with manual pumps that require minimal maintenance, making them suitable for remote communities.
Solar-Powered Water Treatment Systems: To address water contamination, solar-powered treatment systems were introduced. These systems use renewable energy to purify water, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and ensuring sustainability in off-grid areas. The systems are equipped with filtration units that remove pathogens and sediments, delivering safe drinking water.
Three-Chamber Pond Filtration Systems: In areas where groundwater is scarce, innovative
three-chamber pond filtration systems were implemented. These systems use natural filtration
processes to purify surface water, making it safe for drinking and household use. The design
is cost-effective, easy to maintain, and environmentally friendly, as it leverages local
resources and minimizes waste.
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR): The SO2 program integrates SRHR by
promoting menstrual hygiene management (MHM) through the distribution of 2,500 MHM
kits and the establishment of 50 adolescents, empowering adolescent girls in rural communities
with knowledge and resources to manage their reproductive health with dignity, reducing
stigma, and improving school attendance. 
These infrastructure interventions have significantly reduced waterborne diseases, with a reported 40% decrease in incidence across target communities. By prioritizing eco-friendly technologies, the program ensures long-term sustainability and resilience against climate variability.
