Our Focal Area
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WaSH)
In the Northeast, over 3.5 million children are believed to have had malnutrition screenings, while there are roughly over 5 million malnourished children nationwide.
Nigeria and the sub-Saharan region of Africa are currently concerned about the issue of food security. People affected by this insurgency still lack access to quality health care and nutrition, despite the fact that farmer/herder conflicts in the North Central and banditry in the Northwest continue to cripple agricultural activities in these regions, making it extremely difficult for the local population to provide for their basic needs.
At RIA Initiative, we understand that access to clean water, proper sanitation, and good hygiene practices is fundamental to health, dignity, and sustainable development. Our WaSH programs are designed to address these critical needs, particularly in underserved and crisis-affected communities.
Why WaSH Matters
- Clean water prevents waterborne diseases and supports overall health.
- Proper sanitation reduces the spread of infections and promotes community well-being.
- Hygiene education empowers individuals and communities to adopt practices that save lives.
