Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) plays an important role in not only promoting health among communities but also improving the quality of life of individuals and communities as a whole. WASH programmes have continuously experienced challenges of sustainability especially in third world countries as well as developing countries. Communities are increasingly being exposed to a myriad of public health hazards and risks. Thus, WASH forms a key part of many humanitarian response programmes. Humanitarian Global has worked closely with experts in this field to develop a detailed Online PGD Programme that offers extensive knowledge and information resources about this practice area.
