Water, Sanitation, & Resilience
Transforming communities by securing access to safe, clean water and integrating water-smart systems for sustainable development and food security.

Three-Year Program Objectives
15,000+
People with Safe Water Access
Through new boreholes and upgraded WASH points.
10
Agricultural Clusters Empowered
By installing efficient irrigation systems (drip/treadle).
80%
Reduction in Waterborne Disease
Measured in target communities achieving ODF status.
This integrated WASH-WSA strategy is designed for maximum sustainability. By training local Borehole Mechanics and establishing Water & Sanitation Committees (WSCs), VISO ensures that the infrastructure remains functional long after the project handover.
Four Pillars of Water Resilience
1. Water Infrastructure & Capacity
Drilling & Borehole Management
- Hydrogeological site assessments.
- Solar-powered borehole drilling & installation.
- Training of local Borehole Mechanics for sustainability.
- Water quality testing and management.
2. Health and Community Hygiene
Sanitation & Behaviour Change
- Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) to achieve ODF status.
- Construction of accessible school WASH facilities.
- Mass hygiene awareness campaigns (handwashing, safe storage).
- Distribution of water purification kits.
3. Productive Water Use
Water-Smart Agriculture (WSA)
- Installation of low-cost **drip irrigation systems**.
- Training in efficient water management techniques.
- Introduction of drought-resistant and high-value crops.
- Linking water access to economic empowerment for women.
4. Governance and Ownership
Sustainability & Monitoring
- Formation of Water and Sanitation Committees (WSCs).
- Training in tariff collection and fund management.
- Establishing official links with district water offices.
- Robust, outcome-focused Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
