DEVELOPMENT ACTION SOCIETY
WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE (WASH)
Promoting Clean, Healthy, and Dignified Living
Since 2010, Development Action Society (DAS) has been implementing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives to improve the quality of life in underserved urban slums and later in rural areas across West Bengal. What began as an awareness campaign on safe water handling, hygiene practices, and sanitation has now evolved into a sustained, community-driven program.
Key Components of Our WASH Program
Behavioral Change Awareness
Promoting handwashing, personal hygiene, and prevention of waterborne diseases.
Community Mobilization
Formation of 67 WATSAN (Water and Sanitation) Committees to lead local action and liaise with government bodies and private partners.
School WASH
Over 87 schools covered, with toilet renovation in 26 Government schools to ensure hygiene access for children.
Sanitation Infrastructure
Facilitation of 300+ household toilets and 14 new water sources with 24 soak pits for improved drainage.
Stop Diarrhoea Initiatives
Focused health interventions to reduce child morbidity through safe sanitation and clean water.
DAS has actively supported and implemented government schemes like Swachh Bharat Mission, Swachh Vidyalaya, Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, and Nirmal Gram Abhiyan in partnership with local authorities.
We always welcome compassionate people with open arms
