Soba: safe water at home, healthy habits at school

Soba is one of the villages that started getting safe water in 2025. Since the system was commissioned, nearly 1,400 residents have received water through 202 connections that run to their own homes.

Children are the most at risk

Unsafe water is most dangerous for children. Diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases hit them hardest. And without clean water at school, even a simple habit like washing your hands is hard to keep up.

Clean water at school too

So besides connecting homes, we installed handwashing stations at the local schools and ran hygiene sessions for the students. They learned when and how to wash their hands, and how to use water safely.

With clean water at school, children can drink, wash their hands and keep clean properly. Regular hygiene sessions help students and teachers stick to healthy habits, and the benefits of safe water reach the whole village.

Every one of our water projects includes hygiene education and, where there is a school, handwashing stations. Help us bring the same to the next village.
