Thanks to your support, families in Stong now have more sources of clean water, and they're equipped with the skills to maintain them.
Now, more than ever, good hand-washing behaviours are vital for families to stay healthy and safe. Your support has helped increase the number of families with good hand-washing behaviours from just 37% in 2016 to 77% in 2021.
Clean water means life. Thanks to you, it now also means freedom for the children of Stong – freedom from waterborne illnesses.
You've helped build more toilets, so now all villages in Stong are 100% open defecation-free. Thanks to you, families know that with good hygiene and sanitation, they can protect themselves from diseases that kill children.
