WASH+ : A Holistic Approach to Change
Lasting change happens when clean water, proper sanitation, hygiene and financial security come together.
How WASH+ Creates Lasting Impact
Why Water Alone Isn't Enough
Clean water reduces disease—but only if people have safe toilets and practice hygiene.
Financial security helps communities sustain improvements without relying on aid.
The WASH+ model integrates all these elements, ensuring long-term impact.

Our Approach
Needs Assessment
We identify villages with both the greatest need and the commitment to sustain WASH+ services.
Listening First
Household surveys and focus groups help us understand local realities before any intervention begins.
Collaboration, Not Imposition
We work through trusted local leaders, ensuring communities drive the change themselves.
Sustained Relationships
DMDO stays engaged long after implementation, with local representatives tracking impact and ensuring long-term success.
