Humanitarian Response
The project responds to the devastation caused by tropical storm Ana, which hit Northern Mozambique on January 24, 2022. The storm has affected 141,483 people, destroyed more than 7,700 houses and damaged 765 schools and 30 health care facilities. The emergency response will support a total of 12,000 persons in accessing safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, and will thereby reduce the risk of transmission of WASH-related diseases.
The project will:
- repair and reconstruct damaged water sources
- support construction of latrines at household level
- distribute mosquito nets in affected communities
- repair sanitary units in health care facilities
- support local health authorities to respond to potential cholera outbreaks
