We use community theater, door-to-door visits, radio programs, and social media to reach thousands with practical, lifesaving messages.

1. Daily handwashing and hygiene routines.
2. Safe toilet use and school sanitation maintenance.
3. Environmental cleanliness and tree-planting.
4. Peer-led learning, games, and competitions.

We also provide WASH kits, menstrual hygiene supplies, and capacity building for teachers and school committees.
• Environmental Conservation Efforts:
We believe environmental health is public health. Zan Health engages youth, community groups, and local leaders in protecting the environment through.

• Tree-planting drives to combat deforestation and erosion
• Plastic pollution awareness and eco-friendly alternatives

Access to clean water, proper sanitation, and a healthy environment is a human right—and a foundation for health, dignity, and development. At Zan Health, our Environment and WASH program is dedicated to improving community infrastructure, promoting lifelong hygiene practices, and protecting Zanzibar’s natural ecosystems.


Water & Sanitation Infrastructure:

Zan Health works with local communities and partners to improve access to safe water and sanitation services, especially in underserved rural and peri-urban areas.
• Key Infrastructure Projects Include:
• Construction and rehabilitation of community water points and hand-dug wells
• Installation of rainwater harvesting systems in schools and health centers
• Construction of ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines and eco-toilets
• Provision of handwashing stations in public places and schools
• These efforts help reduce waterborne diseases, promote dignity especially for women and girls and support school attendance and public health.
• Behavior Change Campaigns:
Infrastructure alone is not enough. We drive behavior change through culturally sensitive, community-led education.
• Our Campaigns Focus On:
• Handwashing with soap
• Safe water storage and treatment
• Proper toilet use and waste disposal
• Menstrual hygiene management (MHM)
• Climate-smart sanitation practices
