WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene)

Empowering Communities Through Clean Water and Hygiene

At Sukaar Foundation, we believe that access to clean water, safe sanitation, and proper hygiene is not just a basic human right — it’s the foundation of community health, resilience, and development. Our WASH initiatives are designed to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable communities across Sindh, especially in disaster-prone and water-scarce regions like Tharparkar.

What We Do?

• Safe Water Supply Systems
  We design and install sustainable water systems, including solar-powered pumps, rainwater harvesting tanks, and gravity-fed pipelines. Our goal is to ensure year-round access to clean and safe drinking water.
• Improved Sanitation Facilities
  Sukaar Foundation constructs gender-sensitive latrines, communal toilets, and drainage systems that promote dignity, safety, and environmental health. We also work with local governments to improve public sanitation infrastructure in rural and urban communities.
• Hygiene Promotion and Education
  Through targeted hygiene campaigns and school-based programs, we raise awareness on handwashing, menstrual hygiene management, and disease prevention. We equip families with hygiene kits and behavior change tools to promote lasting impact.

Our Impact

• Reduced incidence of waterborne diseases like diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid.
• Increased school attendance, particularly for girls, due to improved menstrual hygiene facilities.
• Strengthened community resilience against droughts, floods, and health emergencies.

Innovations in WASH

Sukaar Foundation is known for pioneering low-cost, community-led solutions such as:

• Rainwater Harvesting Models adapted for arid zones.
