At SFH we recognize that proper sanitation is a pillar to the attainment of good  health in the globe, and we strive to work with the community in achieving a clean and sustainable environment. We have carried out numerous hygiene and sanitation activities in several regions in Somalia, in partnership with Arc solutions-USA, IOM, Warzone Initiative, and have worked closely with UNICEF.
