With your support, HRSF can provide equitable access to the necessary \u201chardware\u201d, including wells, boreholes, water tanks, toilets, taps and sewage infrastructure. However in many instances, without an informed and motivated community to maintain them, new facilities go unused and eventually break down. Likewise, improvements only go so far unless they\u2019re combined with effective hygiene behaviors. To better enable long-term success, your support also helps us build the equally important \u201csoftware\u201d, promoting better hygiene and empowering communities with the knowledge and motivation to advocate for, build and maintain facilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
