Society for Family Health Nigeria’s Post

Yesterday marked Day 2 of the XIX World Water Congress in Marrakech, Morocco, and the Society for Family Health Nigeria (SFH) continues to proudly represent Nigeria on the global stage. Through our WASH for Healthy Lives (W4HL) project, SFH delivered two oral abstract presentations that spotlight innovative, community-driven approaches to safe water systems and climate resilience.   Our first presentation, “Small Drop, Big Impact: A Microscope Approach to Community Safe Water Systems,” provided insight into how localised interventions can significantly strengthen water safety and health outcomes. The second paper, “Lessons Learned from the W4HL Project Addressing Climate-Induced Scarcity and Improving Water Resource Management in Rural Nigerian Communities,” highlighted our experience applying a social behaviour change communication model to engage communities, enhance collective ownership, and build resilience against climate-induced water challenges.   These presentations underscore SFH leadership in deploying practical, evidence-driven WASH interventions that empower communities and improve long-term sustainability. The Congress continues tomorrow, where SFH will again take centre stage with another oral presentation titled “Sustaining Groundwater Resilience Through WASH Interventions.” Through these engagements, SFH reaffirms its commitment to advancing water security, improving community health, and contributing to global knowledge on sustainable WASH programming. #WASH #WorldWaterCongress
