Reduction in waterborne diseases in target areas
"Before THESO's intervention, I spent hours each day collecting water from a distant, contaminated source. Now, with the new water point in our village, I have time to attend school and help my family. The hygiene training has also helped us prevent diseases that used to affect our community regularly."
