CFI’s Health and WASH work has been delivered through two completed, multi-year projects, HANA and Safe and Inclusive Cities, reaching communities across Northern Uganda and Kampala with integrated health, nutrition, WASH, and youth safety services.
Previous Projects:Â HANA and SAIC have both concluded their funded implementation periods (2025). They’re presented here as part of CFI’s track record in health, nutrition, WASH, and youth safety programming.
Though delivered separately, HANA and SAIC shared a common thread: improving access to health, WASH, and protection services for the people most excluded from them, including persons with disabilities, adolescents, and vulnerable youth.
