 WASH programe at factory sites. 

WASH is an acronym that stands for "Water, Sanitation and Hygiene,". Access to WASH is a key public health issue in many under developed countries especially in Nepal. Several international development agencies have identified WASH as an area with great potential to improve health, life-expectancy, student learning, gender equality, and many other key issues of development.

Access to safe water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene education can reduce illness and death, and also impact poverty reduction and socioeconomic development.  Poor sanitation contributes to approximately 700,000 child deaths every year due to diarrhea, and chronic diarrhea can have a negative effect on child development (both physical and cognitive). In addition, lack of WASH facilities can prevent students from attending school, impose a burden on women, and diminish productivity.  

Weaving Dreams recognized the need to conduct a WASH program and it was well received by the children and adults working in the factory.
