The effects of climate change is already felt everywhere. Most strikingly they are felt through water. Increased demand for water due to low rainfall can cause water sources (including boreholes and springs) to run dry conversely, heavy rainfall and flooding can damage water sources and sanitation facilities, carry runoff and waste into streams and lakes and contaminate the water supply. Water scarcity through climate change and the resulting increased in the cost of water can lead to inequitable access. This may deprive households of opportunities to collect the amount of safe water needed for proper hand wash and hygiene, limiting children’s ability to grow up healthy and strong.
OUR FOCUS
Assessing Risks
Identifying climate threats to infrastructure services and communities is the
first step to addressing them.
Adullam Africa is looking forward to work
with the government on large scale projects to identify the risks posed to
WASH services by climate change.
Engaging Youths
Adullam Africa works with the government to integrate climate change into school curricula. We support the establishment of environment clubs that teach student what climate change is and what causes it.Through practical demonstrations focused on behavior change, students also learn how to conserve water.
Inflencing Policy
Adullam Africa in collaboration with the government highlights the impact of climate change on children, communities and WASH services and ensure climate change is included in key national policy and climate change. Adullam Africa is committed to making all our WASH programs climate ready by the end of 2030.This means ensuring WASH infrastructure and services are sustainable, safe and resilient and that WASH systems contribute to community resilience.
