We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new one-year project on the Implementation of the WASH in Schools Three Star Approach in Tajikistan. The project aims to improve the health condition of schoolchildren and citizens through access to sustainable WASH services and improved hygiene behaviors in 14 cities and districts of Tajikistan.
