Access to clean water facilities
10 September 2006


IR has installed 50 water tanks and 16 water bladders

We worked with our partners to ensure as many people as possible had access to these essential facilities and were not at risk from waterborne diseases.
  • Thousands of jerry cans and hygiene kits were distributed immediately after the disaster. Other essential items such as soap, washing powder, buckets and dust bins were also provided.
  • To ensure access to clean water, we installed 50 water tanks, 16 water bladders and created 43 water and washing points. We also provided anti-bacterial water filters for 37,000 families and water purification sachets for another 18,000 families.
  • Working in partnership with Concern Worldwide and UNICEF, we provided sanitation facilities for 120,000 people living in tents in rural areas. As well as constructing latrines, we provided health and hygiene training to local communities.
