The WASH Foundation: Building Disaster-Resilient Communities in the Caribbean
Improving Health. Transforming Lives.
Clinton Global Initiative Supports Our Commitment to Action
The WASH Foundation has been selected as a Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Commitment Maker for our transformative work in the Dominican Republic. Through our commitment, Using WASH to Build Disaster Resilience in the Caribbean, we are scaling our proven Community WASH Program to empower communities with WASH education, improved health infrastructure, disaster resilience, and sustainable partnerships with regional governments.
Our Vision in Action
By 2026, we will expand our WASH-in-Schools and WASH-in-Healthcare Facilities programs to an additional 10 schools and 1 healthcare facility in the Dominican Republic, directly impacting over 155,000 people. This initiative integrates Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) training into core WASH education, ensuring communities can mitigate climate-driven disasters like hurricanes and floods. The expansion will bring our total to 30 schools, enhancing the impact of our programs in both schools and healthcare facilities.
