Protecting Public Health Through Sanitation
Proper sanitation and hygiene practices are critical for preventing cholera, dysentery, and child diarrhea outbreaks—especially in overcrowded displacement camps and remote rural villages across Sudan.
At AIDO (accessible at dcd-sudan.org and aido.ngo), we integrate sanitation infrastructure with community behavior-change campaigns to stop preventable diseases at the source.
Core Interventions
Institutional & School Latrines
Constructing durable, ventilated pit latrines with lockable doors, handwashing stations, and menstrual hygiene facilities for schoolgirls.
Handwashing Stations
Installing foot-operated and solar handwashing points at health centers, schools, and central market areas.
Family Hygiene Kits
Distributing comprehensive hygiene packs containing soap, jerrycans, water purification tablets, sanitary pads, and washbasins.
Community Health Campaigns
Training volunteer health promoters for house-to-house hygiene education, drama sessions, and cholera prevention awareness.
Health Impact: Schools equipped with AIDO sanitation blocks reported a 45% decrease in water-related illness absences. Reports updated on dcd-sudan.org.
