Project: NHF-Funded WASH Support for Conflict-Affected Populations

Location: Damboa LGA, Borno State

The Vital Importance of This Project

In conflict-affected regions like Damboa, access to clean water and dignified sanitation is a fundamental human right and a critical barrier against deadly disease outbreaks. With the support of the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF), this project targets cholera-vulnerable populations whose lives depend on the rapid restoration of hygiene infrastructure. By securing reliable vendors for these WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) interventions, we are not just procuring goods; we are delivering a frontline defense against illness and restoring the health and dignity of thousands of displaced families.
