Our three-year partnership with Project HOPE has come to an end. We first collaborated within the framework of the “Emergency Assistance for Conflict-Affected Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Communities in Ukraine” (EACIC) project, and later through the “Emergency Assistance to Conflict Affected Populations (EACAP) Program.”
These were challenging yet rewarding times: 42 healthcare facilities supported, thousands of kilometers traveled, 4,744 professionals trained, 97 toilets, 114 handwashing stations, and 50 bathrooms renovated. We also provided cleaning equipment, washing machines, medical waste containers, water tanks, and boilers.
Once again, we were reminded that improving WASH as well as infection prevention and control is an ongoing process, and that our approach, which we’ve been refining for over a decade, truly works.
How did it work?
– Initial audit and prioritization.
– Providing everything needed to upgrade the infrastructure: within the framework of EACAP, we were able to address all major gaps.
– Training on how to use the equipment.
– Final audit: this time we doubled our score on the WASH FIT and IPCAF questionnaires.
And that’s not all! Even after the completion of the project, the training continues, and 78 specialists have already completed our online course “Implementing Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene Requirements in a Mobile Medical Unit.”
The course is available until September 1. Do not miss the opportunity to join!

The EACIC and EACAP projects are made possible with generous support from the American people.
