Why & how of WAH?
Because clean water changes everything.
WAH has been working directly with the Provincial Health Department in order to provide sustainable solutions from the bottom up. First, WAH installed water tanks; an ongoing project. Then we introduced train-the-trainer program to improve midwife and paediatric medical training. And lastly, we started scholarship to send young women to tertiary studies.
