water sanitation

Women from the in Abayagam and Yuweng hamlets of Ngariawang community in Markham district, Morobe Province have always faced water issues until World Vision’s assistance with Water Sanitation, and Hygiene (WaSH) project.

An emotional Salome Isaac, who is a WASH Committee member in Yuweng Hamlet said women used to bathe once a day during menstruation due to the unavailability of water in the village and had no choice but to bathe and change their pads once a day as it is quite too far to frequently reach the water source to clean themselves.

Several global and regional climate agencies have predicted a potential occurrence of El Nino in the second half of 2017, which could bring drier than normal conditions to PNG.

Acting Director for the National Disaster Committee and co-chair of the PNG Disaster Management Team, Martin Mose, said during a workshop on El Nino preparedness that PNG has to plan properly for risk management and mitigation actions.

Mose said the country has to pay attention and identify the critical sectors that will be impacted, such as water and food security.
