For every child, Hope :

According to the HRP 2022, a total of 324,000 people including around 100,000 children, need humanitarian WASH assistance. Increased displacement and return has put additional pressure on already weakened WASH infrastructure, leaving refugee, migrant and internally displaced children and families particularly vulnerable. As the WASH sector lead in Libya.

WASH Sector partners capacity strengthened on water and sanitation responses in emergencies and pandemics.
The protracted conflict in Libya resulted in the severe decline of water and sanitation services and led to widening gaps between demand and supply of services over the last four years. The water systems of the three main water institutions (Man-Made River Project, Desalination Company and General Company of Water and Sanitation Systems (GCWW)) are left without essential operation and maintenance services and are also lacking a proper coordination and communication mechanisms.
