AAI and The Hunar Foundation Objectives
1. Increase access to curative and preventative healthcare services to vulnerable populations - targeting women and children - affected by the floods. Particular emphasis has been placed on early warning surveillance for diseases and capacity building of local healthcare workers in international disaster/refugee medicine.
2. Improve WASH at the village level through the provision of safe water supply activities, culturally appropriate latrine and bathroom construction, and hygiene and health promotion to community members - particularly women and children.
