Providing basic health services in SyriaInadequate water, sanitation and solid waste management pose a risk to health and protection, especially for vulnerable women and children. In order to meet the needs of the most vulnerable and to reduce the associated risks, World Vision works to provide water, safe waste disposal and sewage disposal, and to meet the needs of children and their families who live in the camps set up at Bardarash and Gawilan, where they struggle to gain access to basic services such as water, safe waste disposal and sewage disposal.

Improving the situation on the ground
Among other measures, World Vision will commission a waste disposal service provider to collect the rubbish from the camp and dispose of it at the landfill site. In addition, disposal bags and rubbish bins will be distributed at household level to ensure effective solid waste management. World Vision will continue to employ casual workers who help with the daily cleaning and collection of rubbish from the camp's streets and other public facilities, which is then dumped at the landfill site approved by the government.
