Project Overview
Funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through Norwegian Church Aid, CeRID’s Emergency WASH Support project provides life-saving water, sanitation, and hygiene services to disaster- and conflict-affected communities in Luuq District. The project uses community-informed vulnerability criteria to prioritise households facing the greatest barriers to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Overall Goal
To safeguard the health, well-being, and dignity of crisis-affected communities through equitable and sustainable access to essential WASH services.
Key Objectives
- Improve hygiene practices through essential supplies and public-health information.
- Expand safe and equitable access to water for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene.
- Improve access to safe and appropriate sanitation facilities.
- Prioritise people facing displacement, poverty, protection risks, disability, chronic illness, and other vulnerabilities.
Emerging Impact
The project’s integrated delivery of hygiene supplies, water access, and sanitation support reduces preventable health risks and helps crisis-affected families meet essential daily needs with greater safety and dignity. Its community-developed targeting approach also makes support more responsive to the circumstances of vulnerable households.
