Clean Water and Sanitation

JESE works with communities and local governments to expand fair access to safe, reliable water and dignified sanitation, and to restore the catchments that keep water flowing, even as the climate changes.

JESE builds and rehabilitates boreholes, protected springs, gravity flow schemes and solar-powered systems, and strengthens the community structures that run and maintain them.

In schools, JESE provides safe water, toilets, handwashing stations, menstrual hygiene support and hygiene education, with WASH clubs and cost-recovery projects to sustain them.

JESE promotes climate-resilient water infrastructure and integrated water resources management, including source protection, climate-smart storage, watershed restoration and local water governance.

Why it matters

Safe water, dignified sanitation and healthy catchments depend on each other. JESE works with communities, local governments, schools and development partners.

We bring clean water, sanitation and hygiene to communities and schools, and protect the catchments that keep water flowing.
