The project targets 2,197 vulnerable individuals to enable them to pursue a hygienic lifestyle and improved access to hygienic sanitation facilities and improved environmental living conditions.
The camp residents are better protected by having a clear set of health and safety instructions to follow during this crisis period. 

Alsalam camp houses 339 households made up of 2,197 individuals (989 Males, 1,208 Females) of which 802 are under 18. 

Each Hygiene kit consists of Masks, Gloves, Soap, Washing powder and liquid, Shampoo for adults, and children, and garbage bags are provided to each household to last for 1 month.  The residents are also provided media messages and contactless peer-to-peer group sessions to raise awareness of the importance of hygiene and hot to protect against the virus.   

The project has concluded with all activities completed as planned for the end of May just prior to the Eid Break. The IDPs are currently benefiting from the intervention with improved protection against the COVID virus.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
