WASH United

About us

WASH United works to create a world where everyone drinks safe water, uses adequate sanitation and practices handwashing with soap at critical times, and where all women and girls are empowered to manage their menstruation hygienically, safely, with confidence and dignity.

In order to achieve this goal, WASH United develops innovative educational materials and advocacy campaigns
.
Our play-based education materials are low-cost, easy-to-use and enable our local partners to integrate education about WASH issues into their programmes to ensure that children understand the importance of safe water, toilets and handwashing and use facilities properly.

Our advocacy campaigns help to break the silence around menstruation and menstrual hygiene management (MHM), raise the priority of toilet use and help providers of WASH services to integrate human rights principles into their work to reach everyone - including the most marginalised - with adequate and sustainable services.

WASH United is registered as a charitable organisation in Berlin, Germany.
