Installation of Wash Points

As you are aware, lack of access to clean and safe water is responsible for a lot of health challenges. Poor hygiene and lack of adequate water and sanitation is a leading cause of diseases and death worldwide. It is also a contributor to the spread of many Neglected Tropical Diseases.

 

In view of the fact that most of the communities affected by NTDs do not have safe and clean water, this Foundation with the support of Mectizan Donation Program (MDP) installed wash points in strategic locations across Gombe State during COVID-19, in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, reduce the NTD burden and hasten the elimination of these preventable diseases.

Fifty-Six (56) wash points were installed at strategic locations across the State.

 

It is also worthy of note that in a bid to enhance proper hygiene and improve the quality of water community members make use of, the Foundation has supported the clearing and chlorination of One Hundred and Twenty-Five (125) ponds in several communities across all LGAs of Gombe State.

These achievements have been made possible by the support of partners. We therefore, solicit for your kind assistance to do much more.
