  • Abstract

    This visual report highlights several household coping mechanisms for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) as documented by diverse community members – including women, men, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers – from the Dailekh and Sarlahi Districts. It offers actionable recommendations for WASH stakeholders – local government authorities, rights-holder organisations, and community leaders – aimed at enhancing support for rural households facing climate-related challenges.
