Rainwater Harvesting and Water Resource Management
SDF has implemented rainwater harvesting systems in drought-prone and water-scarce areas to ensure sustainable water availability for agriculture and drinking. These systems are community-managed, with training provided for maintenance and equitable distribution. The project improves water security while promoting efficient water use practices.

Sanitation and Hygiene Campaigns in Rural Schools
SDF collaborates with schools to construct sanitation facilities, particularly for girls, to reduce dropout rates and improve hygiene practices. The initiative includes hygiene awareness workshops, distribution of hygiene kits, and the installation of handwashing stations, fostering better health outcomes and creating clean, safe learning environments.

Community-Led Wastewater Management Systems
SDF has developed decentralized wastewater treatment systems in rural communities to recycle and reuse water for irrigation. These systems are managed by local community-based organizations (CBOs), ensuring sustainability and reducing water wastage while providing an additional resource for agricultural activities.

WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) for Vulnerable Communities
This project addresses the needs of slum dwellers and underserved populations by providing access to clean drinking water, constructing community toilets, and running hygiene awareness programs. The initiative empowers local communities to take ownership of their water and sanitation facilities, ensuring long-term maintenance and use.

Promoting Sustainable Sanitation through Bio-Toilets
In remote and environmentally sensitive regions, SDF has introduced eco-friendly bio-toilets that operate without conventional sewer systems. These toilets convert waste into compost, reducing pollution and improving sanitation access for households and public spaces. The project also includes community training on the use and maintenance of these systems.
