Community & People
Community Leadership
Our partners 4africa engages in multi-year community relationships far beyond just providing a clean water source. As such, we advocate communities’ deep participation and management of the WASH (Water Access, Sanitation and Hygiene) program initiatives and infrastructures. As our water team works to provide access to clean water, our health team equips, trains, and mentors communities on sanitation and hygiene best practices as well as preventative health education—when done together, improved health and lasting impact exponentially increase.
Our water program hinges on a Community-Based Management System (CBMS) involving government, schools, hospitals, community centers and community leaders. The foundation of the CBMSs entail reinstating or mobilizing water user committees or community-based organizations to take full responsibility and ownership of their wells with activities aimed to ensurefunctionality, maintenance, and proper usage of the water pointsprovided for the community.
