We Volunteer PROJECT
UNICEF India and Youngistaan Foundation partnered to create a one-of-a-kind initiative and the largest WASH volunteers’ network in Telangana. The We Volunteer project aims to promote WASH behaviour among vulnerable communities in Telangana and promote the following:
- WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) behavior
- COVID-appropriate behavior
- menstrual hygiene management
- and more
The We Volunteer project will hold capacity-building workshops for all 5,000 volunteers on COVID appropriate behaviors, WASH behaviors and services, Government advisories and orders, training methods and tools, etc. Through our volunteers, we will reach around 3 million people in 33 districts across Telangana through campaigns, digital media and interpersonal communication. We will ensure that all trained volunteers will be given resource material to engage with communities on risk communication.
Upon successful completion of one year of volunteering in the We Volunteer project, each volunteer will be awarded with an official certificate of completion.

WHAT IS WASH?
WASH stands for water, sanitation and hygiene. When we focus on improving people’s access to water, sanitation and hygiene, there is an overall improvement in people’s health and quality of life. Furthermore, the critical importance of hand washing as one of the most effective measures to prevent the spread of germs and viruses makes WASH-focused projects a strong method to assist communities in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are global goals that are designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Sustainable Development Goal 6 or SDG 6 focuses on clean water and sanitation for all.
