More than 2 billion people worldwide still do not have basic sanitation facilities, and poor sanitation and hygiene contribute to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths each year.
For more than 40 years, MCD Global Health's team has worked to improve sanitation and hygiene, including menstrual hygiene management, in schools and health care facilities as well as for households in rural villages and peri-urban areas, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
Our expert team has also integrated sanitation and hygiene practices into many of its maternal and child health, nutrition, family planning, and environmental protection projects.
