Water, Sanitation, Hygiene & Climate Resilience

Why This Matters

Access to clean water, adequate sanitation and good hygiene practices underpins health, education, productivity and human dignity. Climate change is intensifying water insecurity across many parts of Africa, making resilient water systems increasingly essential.

Amani Global Foundation views WASH not only as a basic service but as a foundation for healthier and more resilient communities.
