HIGHLIGHTS
More than 82,000 people gained improved access to durable and safe drinking water and sanitation services.
Approximately 198,700 people were reached through social art activities (theatre shows, murals, radio spots/stories) that focused on changing key behaviours around water and sanitation.
A total of 41 villages targeted by the project have achieved open defecation free (ODF) status.
To boost revenue-generating activities, 13 female and youth groups have been trained in entrepreneurship and marketing for agricultural, agri-food, or WASH-related products.
