Restoring essential water access in frontline communities of Ukraine

HIA responded with emergency repairs and long-term reconstruction to restore essential services. As part of the project:

• new wells were drilled,
• water towers were installed,
• damaged water and sewage systems were repaired,
• technical equipment and materials were provided to local service providers.

Thanks to this intervention, more than 103,000 people – including many displaced and vulnerable individuals – now have access to clean drinking water and basic hygiene services again.
The program not only met urgent needs but also strengthened the water and sanitation infrastructure in 13 communities, ensuring more resilient services for the future.
