Developed to strengthen the quality and impact of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programming worldwide, World Vision’s Disability-Inclusive WASH Guide offers practical resources and approaches to help organizations prioritize the meaningful inclusion of persons with disabilities. It emphasizes that disability-inclusive WASH requires a comprehensive approach, accounting for the full diversity of disabilities and applying defined standards to ensure meaningful inclusion, quality implementation, and sustainable programming. Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) is a foundational pillar of World Vision’s WASH business plan, and guides such as this play a critical role in turning those commitments into action.
World Vision is committed to reaching the most vulnerable and ensuring the meaningful inclusion of persons with disabilities across all aspects of our work. While the guide is designed for World Vision field teams, it offers valuable insights for partners, peers, and donors seeking to advance inclusive and transformative WASH programming in their own contexts.
