The project
Haiti is highly exposed to climate change: earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and landslides are increasingly frequent and intense. Water sources are shrinking and water and sanitation infrastructure is fragile, while access to emergency care remains limited in rural communities.
ECT-WASH strengthens local capacities to ensure access to water, sanitation and hygiene for all, prepare communities for disasters and promote the Green Humanitarian Aid approach, in Saint-Jean-du-Sud (South) and Corail (Grand’Anse). ASB leads the project, together with Arche noVa and the German Toilet Organization.
