Water, Sanitation and Environmental Health

 

Because water is so essential to life, CORCAH strives to help communities ensure that everyone has access to efficient, responsive and sustainable water and sanitation services. We are proud of our success in helping communities build and maintain clean water systems.

Water supply and Sanitation remains a challenging issue because of the health risks of water-related diseases. Water is essential to life. At CORCAH, we want to ensure that everyone has access to efficient and sustainable water and sanitation services.

According to the data: over one billion people still lack access to safe water, and nearly two billion people lack safe sanitation. Nearly three-quarters of the world's poor live in rural areas, and a large part of this population does not have access to clean water and safe sanitation facilities. In response to this crisis, we focus our efforts on water and sanitation in poor rural and urban areas. We provide technical assistance to governments to help improve policies, develop strategies, and build capacity. We assist in developing strategies for utility modernization, and establishing frameworks that encourage better performance.
