OUR PROGRAMS

Emergency Relief

During times of natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and wildfires like those in Maui, The WASH Foundation, an evolution of Clean the World Foundation partners with organizations on the ground to help provide affected communities with hygiene supplies, access to clean water, and additional essential supplies. 

In humanitarian emergencies, there is an increase in infectious diseases due to the crowding of displaced peoples, potential inadequate water and sanitation, and poor access to health care.
