Project Summary WOW² (Working for WASH Wellness)

Purpose: Challenges
around the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector are universal.  Globally, 2.4 billion people will be living without improved sanitation in 2015.

• Unsafe water, poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene cause diarrhea diseases that claim the lives of more than 800,000 children under age five.
• Indonesiafaces these same issues with limited access to safe water sources and basic sanitation. Due to its diverse geography and limited access to improved water sources, ensuring access to clean, safe water and proper sanitation and hygiene is a pressing challenge.

Goals and Objectives:  To address this challenge, the overall goal of the proposed program is to improve health outcomes and reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases through improvement of water sources, clean water option provision and access to basic sanitation facilities in two key locations in Indonesia.

The specific objectives of the project are as follows:
·        Build model WASH facilities and behaviors in community-based health centers.
·        Increase community awareness of health and WASH best practices and behaviors.
·        Encourage uptake of WASH best practices through community-led interventions.

Program Area: To develop potential models for replication throughout Indonesia, Mercy Corps identified two locations with common Indonesian WASH challenges. Pulau Ende, a rural mountainous island, has limited water resources and a low level of uptake of WASH best practices. Pakisjaya, a rural area, has abundant water resources but limited uptake of WASH best practices. Through success in both areas, Mercy Corps will develop models that can be more easily replicated in other parts of Indonesia.

Program Activities:  Utilizing proven Mercy Corps methodology around WASH programming, the WoW2 Project will work with community-based health centers and schools to build hygienic WASH facilities, including toilet facilities, hand-washing stations, and water sanitizing stations. These facilities will demonstrate success in WASH best practices to the greater community and provide critical access to such facilities for communities in need of WASH capacity. Using these health centers and schools as a foundation for community outreach, the program will train community trainers who will proliferate WASH best practices to the greater community. Mercy Corps will facilitate a community-led process to implement a WASH-related program intervention to fill a critical gap in the current WASH infrastructure.
