Nepal Fact Sheet: Safaa Paani (WASH Recovery) Program

USAID’s Safaa Paani project operates in Nepal’s Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha Districts, where the 2015 earthquakes damaged many of the water supply systems and public infrastructure, resulting in widespread hardship and challenging conditions for public health and socio-economic development. The overall goal of the project is to repair damaged water supply systems or build new water supply schemes for previously unreached populations, improve access to sanitation in public areas, and promote improved hygiene behaviors. The four-year (2015-2019) Safaa Paani project will work in a total of 200 communities, selected from 14 village development committees in Dolakha and 20 village development committees in Sindupalchwok.
