The WASH Foundation partners with organizations and governments on the ground to help provide affected communities with hygiene supplies, access to clean water, and necessary essential supplies. Through The WASH Foundation’s Global Emergencies Program, we work with communities to prepare for and mitigate the impact of disasters whenever we can. In emergent situations and as a method of prevention and control, we must prioritize proper water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). At The WASH Foundation, we always aim to provide immediate assistance when an emergency hits.
