Many rural communities lack access to clean water, proper sanitation, and adequate hygiene practices. Approximately 20 of Nepal s population does not have access to safe drinking water, and only a tiny percentage of households have adequate sanitation. This situation leaves the population vulnerable to health risks, especially children, who suffer the most from waterborne diseases and malnutrition.By volunteering for this workcamp, you ll directly contribute to improving public health by raising awareness of WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) practices, providing education on disease prevention, and supporting the development of more resilient communities.
