This project is an integrated development project that aims to improve health, nutrition, food security and water facilities. Islamic Relief’s intervention in Say District aims to significantly increase the rate of the community’s access to clean and safe water by the end of 2018, decrease food shortages, and reduce the malnutrition rate among children under 5. This project is developing and increasing health center capacities by providing medical equipment, training health workers, hiring additional staff and providing solar powered electricity. The majority of this project was complete in March 2018; however, with an unusual amount of savings our intervention has been extended until 2019.
