WASH PROGRAM

WASH stands for Water, Hygiene and Sanitation. AFC envisage a society where everyone will have equal opportunities to thrive and live a fulfilled life. In this regard, AFC has been helping remote communities and schools in the South West and North West Regions of Cameroon through its WASH program.

Building toilets as a means of enforcing toiletry hygiene and sanitations in remote schools and villages is one of the objective of Action for Change. In Dibanda community primary school, AFC has constructed a gender sensitive toilet of four compartment for orphans, poor and needy children attending the school. AFC intends to extend this project to many other remote communities and schools. This will sustainably improve the living conditions of children, women, vulnerable youths and disadvantaged rural and indigenous remote communities in the South West and North West Regions of Cameroon.

Action for Change has built and provided pipe born water at St Veronique nursery and primary school Bolifamba, South West Region of Cameroon. This project was geared to reduce the rate at which poor, needy and internally displaced children contract water related diseases like typhoid, cholera etc due to the absence of safe drinking water in the school community. Our mission is to extend this project to other needy schools and communities and sustainably improve the living conditions of children, women, vulnerable youths and disadvantaged rural and indigenous remote communities both in the South West and North West Regions of Cameroon.

Action for Change (AFC) has continued to enhance hygiene and sanitation in schools and poor communities by building more toilets in rural schools. This was the turn of Ndongo primary school where AFC constructed a disabled friendly toilet for poor, needy and internally displaced children attending the school. The project was geared to enhance hygiene and sanitation within the school environment and to stop the attitude of needy children practicing open defecation around the school environment. We hope to extend this project to other needy communities and other needy schools in the South West and North west region of Cameroon.
