Introduction
Communities in the areas served by The NGAO Foundation face many challenges regarding access to clean water and proper sanitation. However, there are also significant opportunities to use existing community assets to address these issues. In the last quarter, The NGAO Foundation used the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) model to engage the community through its Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives. By leveraging the community’s resources and strengths, we have empowered individuals to take ownership of the solutions, creating long-term sustainability.

Conclusion
The NGAO Foundation’s WASH program has made significant progress in improving access to clean water and sanitation in the communities we serve.

We are grateful to our partners and community members for their ongoing support and participation.
