Clean Water, Safe Sanitation, and Hygiene for Healthy Rural Lives
Access to clean water and proper sanitation is essential for health, dignity, and development. At Pradan Foundation, our WASH programme aims to ensure that every individual in rural and tribal Jharkhand has access to safe drinking water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education.
We believe that behavioral change, combined with infrastructure development, can break the cycle of disease, malnutrition, and poverty.
Ensure safe and sustainable access to clean drinking water
Prevent open defecation and promote safe sanitation
Encourage good hygiene practices through education and community engagement
Promote women’s dignity and safety through sanitation facilities
Many rural families depend on unsafe water sources, leading to water-borne diseases. Our interventions include:
Installation and renovation of deep tube wells
Construction of hand pumps and piped water systems
Promotion of rainwater harvesting for households and farms
Training on safe water handling: collection, storage, and treatment
Regular water quality testing to ensure safety standards
We support communities and schools with sustainable sanitation solutions such as:
Construction of individual household toilets (IHHLs)
Installation of school toilets and handwashing stations
Building community toilets in tribal and underserved hamlets
Encouraging local government to participate in Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) initiatives
Creating lasting impact requires changing behaviors and spreading awareness. We run large-scale hygiene education campaigns that cover:
Handwashing practices (especially after defecation and before meals)
Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) for adolescent girls and women
Safe handling of drinking water and food
Use and maintenance of sanitation infrastructure
Community-led total sanitation (CLTS) and hygiene clubs in schools
We believe in a bottom-up approach, where local communities lead the change. Our WASH activities are community-owned and maintained through:
Formation of Village Water and Sanitation Committees (VWSCs)
Training of local masons and mechanics for maintenance
Regular community monitoring and awareness drives
Over 150+ deep tube wells installed or renovated
1,000+ household toilets built in tribal villages
Hygiene education provided to 10,000+ individuals, including school children
500+ adolescent girls trained on menstrual hygiene
Significant reduction in waterborne illnesses and open defecation in focus areas
Our WASH programme not only improves public health but also strengthens education outcomes, economic productivity, and women’s safety. At Pradan Foundation, we envision clean and healthy villages where water is safe, toilets are accessible, and hygiene is a shared responsibility.
Together, we are building a future where no one is left behind when it comes to basic human dignity.
